leaf spring bush/pads

[Rick]

where can i buy the rubber bits that sit between the leafsprings and axle bits

 

theyre flat sandwiches with the rubber locating piece

[Twinkle]

isopacs m8, bin em thats retro's advice normally

[Rick]

i want them im keeping leafsprings not cutting up my nicely restored floor to fit those ugly bars

[Twinkle]

no m8 no cutting involved!! its just a rubber pad that goes between the spring and the shock absorber locating plate that you are talking about?

[Rick]

confused me now

 

i just need new rubber thingys

[Twinkle]

you have described what sounds like an isopac, it is there to cushion the road vibrations from the leaf spring to the shock absorber. it sits around the spring and is almost a flat rubber piece?

[tim]

thos rubber bits are only there to keep road noise travelin up in2 the car,you dont really need them.but removin them will raise the car up abit

[Rick]

so really i could make my own bit of rubber?

 

i just thought i needed them to help locate the axle on the springs cuz today i roughly bolted it otgether to roll it about and it was hard to get the axle exactly paralell if you know what i mean

[tim]

nar there holes to locate in the lower block,axle,saddle aswell

get some superflex poly bush one's fron burton or rally design will last alot longer than the rubber ones
