Land Rover Series front Leaf springs

[8_10 Brass Cleaner]

Guys

I'm after some second hand pair of front leaf springs for a Series Landrover. The original multileaf type not parabolics.

I have fitted some 9 leaf ones of unknown origin (other than they were off a 109) to the rear of my living van but and with tools etc its now a bit saggy.

Plan is to make a custom set up out of two pairs, adding say 3 or 4 leaves to the existing ones I have. I feel by making a set up this way I can add another leaf if the result is still too soft, or remove a leaf if it is too hard. I left my spring bolts long on purpose as a number of you have noticed on facebook!.

I've looked at heavy duty (11 leaf) ones off the shelf and given the loadings I've been quoted I'm not certain they are up to it either, and I dont really want to chop up some new springs given the outlay.

I also have a tame spring man who will make me whatever I want, but I do not know loads (or have a way of measuring them in anycase).

I've no issues with splitting springs to clean up scale etc.

I'm on the Shropshire/Staffs Border, happy to travel, but have family/contacts and travel regularly to North Wales/Warwickshire/Durham so economic collection is a wider area.

I'm currently looking hard at the bay of E, location will be the key.

Basically does anyone have anything usable?. There are pleanty of you LandRover blokes out there with steamers, is there anyone who has just gone parabolic willing to sell some that they were going to scrap??

PM me, hedd_jones@yahoo.co.uk or 07871 577 132 anytime.

FYI 9 leaf fronts are for 88" petrol models, diesels and all 109" models are 11 leaf.

I see there is a pair of Series 2's, Spares or Repair, on the for sale part of TT!

Will have to have a look to check what is still there, but I think there is a pile of rusty front springs in my garden somewhere...

Hi,
I have a pair of petrol series 3 leafs springs and a pair of, I believe, long wheel base diesel series 3 leafs (Ill check that for you if you are interested) was about to put them on eBay but if you want them then that's easier for me. The chassis they came off was 1984 but whether the leafs are newer or older I don't have a clue....
PM me if you want a price and organise collection/ shipping (I'm in Devon)
Regards
Matt
