Triton rear ends

Hi Triton people,
Do any of you know the rear spring centers for an MK, maybe Challenger too, and for the MJ.
I believe I have read that the earlies, up to MJ had ~39" centers.
I need to know if the springs are further apart on the wider rear end as I am looking at bolting one in my L300.
I have a 4.875 9" center and axles from a delica and it would save me grinding all the brackets off and welding on pads.

Here's hoping, Regards, Al

Hi,
I include my answer just in case someone else is interested.
Looked around the car yards and got to measure a 2002 Triton across the rear springs, 995 mm, same as my 85 L300.
2009 was way wider, at least 50 mm.
So, I assume that 10/96 to 2003, MK, are bolt up to spring compatible with most early leaf spring chassis. Dunno about pinion angle yet.
They are 64 mm wider drum face to drum face and have larger brakes.

Cheers Al
