Single leaf springs, what do i have??

[Capri18]

Hi all, i've found some single leaf springs in my fathers loft, he cant remember what they came off. He didnt even know they were there just wondering if any of you guys can tell me what they are off and where i can get polybushes for them?

 

The rear spring hanger side has a hole for a bush of 27mm diameter while the front has a hole of 37 mm diameter, can polybushes be got for these? Are they capri 2.8i ones at all?

 

il go get the pics of my fone to show you all

 

cheers

 

Edit: here's the pictures the last two are of the smalest end compaired to the springs that are origionally off the car

just ran out to the garage and did it, their 60mm wide, their mk2 escort ones then? I'l still should be able to use them on a capri?

i aint 100% sure on this but mk2 escy ones are deffo 60mm wide, i am pretty sure all cappa ones are 50mm wide but i may be wrong

if so you will have to grind the ends down to fit in the hangers you will have problems with bushes and the locating plates where the u bolts go through

there is a place on e bay that do pretty much all the different size bushes i think they are called flo flex

i only know this because my bro bought a set of so called 2.8i single leafs for his mk2 cortina and couldnt understand why they were too wide

turns out they are mk2 escy ones

we have got round it now but it has been a pain in the backside

Cheers for the info and swift reply's Aden, i offered up one of the leaf springs to the car and it fitted into the front mounting point a treat, but i didnt really look that hard at the rear hanger. Il have to check that one, il also have to see about the locating plates, unless i can unearth some Mk2 escort ones from fathers stockpile

 

heres the front mounting point
