I notice that all the specialists list different chassis legs for cars and commercials, is the difference in the length only? 32 inch and 28 inch respectivley, as I,ve seen some for sale on e-bay but I dont want to bid if I cant adapt it to fit?
Thanks in advance.

I looked into these when I considered building a chassis from scratch.
The van legs are far deeper.
Sorry but car items aren't really adaptable for the LCV's proper chassis.

Wish someone had told the previous owner of my chassis that. A car chassis leg had been botched in to repair the leg. The bottom suspension arm was nearly an inch forward out of place and 1/2 inch further up the chassis rail than it should have been. Been like that for a few years as well, must have made the handling/tyre wear a bit interesting.

So does the different repair lengths offered mean van torsion bars are longer?
