8 leafs on a traveller?

[Edward.21]

hi simple one today will 8 leaf van rear springs fit on a traveller?
thanks

doubt it. i think the front 'loop' for the bush is bigger on a van. it certainly takes a bigger bush!

why do you want 8's? aren't 7's man-enough?

Im a plumber and I carry a lot of crap in the back of Ellie and I thinks she's struggling with the weight I have a van that's under restoration but that will be a while I was just thinking that if it was a straight swap I'd do it until I've got the van going but if there's a lot of chopping and changing I'll probably leave it thanks anyways

The van springs do indeed have a larger eye at the front. However, Graham Claydon at ESM took it upon himself to tool up for a polybush of suitable size to fit the van springs to a traveller. This was after I had similar problems with springs losing their "set" early on, and he recognised that there was a potential need for those such as yourself who want to use their vehicle as a workhorse! I am sure ESM will be only too happy to oblige you!

That's very useful thanks a lot:)

Is it resting on the bump stops when loaded?
