Guest diesel_jim Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm currently rebuilding my wide track sankey trailer, and the leaf springs are rusted into a solid lump.... great for shock absorbing! Anyway, after looking at and measuring them, they're very similar to LR leaf springs... same width (55mm) and almost same physical size, soooo, i'm wondering if anyone could pop under their series rovers with a tape measure and see what ones i might have? (or which type they're most similar to so i can "modify" some to fit....) I stopped by Bearmach in town today, they had some very near, but no cigar. they're approx 104cm "eye to eye" (middle of bolt each bolt hole) long. depth (where the U bolt fits) is 7cm and the leaves are about 7mm thick I'm thinking a 109" HD spring maybe, my old SW had multi layer "thin" leaves, these ones are quick thick in comparison (and not as many... 7 or 8 IIRC) many thanks for yer help guys.

Les Henson Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I thought Sankey trailers used S2 or 2A leaf springs. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Les, i don't suppose you've got one you can measure the distance between the two main bolt holes? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 2a and ser3 leafs are the same as each other, S2 are narrower AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I don't have any standard leaf springs here Jim. I can measure the distance on catflaps mounting points if you like though ? If you are coming past here today I'll be working on a TD90 and a very nice 300TDi CSW, so should be here all day. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
