7 leaf spring query

Post by qwerty165 »

I have taken the 7 leaf springs off my Minor saloon and the back holes are the diameter of the bushes that I ordered however the front are a lot bigger? What is going on here and is there anyway of dealing with this problem.

If you are not too bothered about originality, fit 5 leaf springs from the later saloons. The Traveller has the same thickness leaves as the later saloon with 2 extra leaves added

Thank you for the advice, is there anyway that is possible to get any bushes to make it fit such as using the ones for an LCV or is this not possible?
