Re: SER1 80" Front Springs?

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/07/17]

Sorry don't know about "Dingocroft (UK)" but the people who deal in Series 1
parts have them.  For instance LRFasteners have them @ £45 each, more than 88"
but you do need to buy quality or they won't last.  A proper Land Rover dealer
should be able to tell you the suitable replacement.  If it is the 88", it would
probably be a pair of one or the other rather than ending up with the slightly
higher driver's side.  Problem might also be with cost of transporting such
heavy items.

Answer might be to look at parabolic as someone is about to / has produced them
in the narrow form.
