Do you want the standard Marina torsion bars (19mm OD) or the stronger Marina Van torsion bars 21mm OD)?
The brackets for mounting the rear of the Marina torsion bars have to be made. There are no off the shelf brackets. The Marina floor pan is strengthened around the adjuster to cope with the loading. The Minor floor/cross member is not strong enough and a modified bracket, modified mount pin and reaction arm have to be used. See photos below.

The torsion bar may have to be shortened to suit.
Make sure that any torsion bars you purchase are identified as N/S or O/S because the torsion bars must be used on the side they were originally fitted. Torsion bars do not like being reversed twisted which may lead to torsion bar failure.
You will need a pair of torsion bar convertors as per photo below.
I made up a similar pair of convertors from Marina suspension components.
