I took out 3 leaves out of the front of my mk patrol and now the Ublots are too long. Where is the easiest/quickest place to get new ones from? I dont mind travelling in sydney.
ALSO, I have some plastic spacers in some other mk Spring packs laying round. Is it worth putting these in the new leaf config? I guess they help slide but are they worth it?
It'd be nice to have it finished on the weekend
thanx and cheers

give BOMOND TRADING a call on 02 99391344. they r in orchard st (i think), brookvale. they specialise in nuts, bolts, spring, stainless wire and i believe they have an assortment of u bolt, just call n check. their open til 12pm on saturdays.
another alternative is u could extend the thread if u have access to a thread cutter.
cheers,
nathan.

Thanx for the heads up guys.
There about an inch too long, if the thread was longer id wack my 9 inch out and make them shorter.
Still any suggestions about the Plastic spacers between the springs?
Cheers

The placky 'washer plates' are ther to deminish squeaking noises from annoying the cwap out of ya when the suspension is 'working'. They also help prevent wear in areas that are prone to large movement.... steel on steel wears fast
