How Do All.
A few years ago a friend had an 88inch with i believe transit springs on the back?
Has anyone come across the same and if so what will fit?
I know parabolics are probibly the best, but i believe in doing things differently.
Any ideas greatly received.

Cheers
Lee

if you were to go for the single leaf 20cwt transit spings then i reckon you would be alright, but it all depends on the length of the springs

I think that transit springs are longer but i may be wrong, i would go with parabolics.

But if you are realy keen you could move the spring hangers to make them fit

It's the plate that makes them look different, just an optical illusion.

btw.
theres another connection between the landy and the transit. GKN sankey made chassis for land rover for many yrs, and the transit subframes for ford.

not many people know that.
