Cornish Rattler Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Hi guys As you may know I have taken over the restoration of the 2a swb for my self and as the new galv chassis is sat on new std GB springs I have decided on replacing them with GB parabolic springs and as I can't find any suitable U-bolts for parras just thought could I use the new std U-bolts that are fitted to the std springs atm, what do you think Edited March 27, 2017 by Cornish Rattler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not normally, the parabolic springs are thinner packs... .....and if you look on the GB springs site they do them as a kit : http://www.gbsprings.co.uk/land-rover/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Cool. Not wishing to be supplier-ist, but I think you will find better/more help elsewhere.
