I borrowed a 2.3 cf many years ago to use as a changing room for lingerie models on an out door photoshoot.

The van was brisk, but I caught my knee cap on the bottom of one of the open front doors and a small chunk chipped off.

Stung a bit at the time, I could barely focus on all the nipples.

im looking for leaf spring assisters...the clamp on leaf type...if anyone has them kicking about...or maybe load leveller shockies with the helper springs

I'm sure I Seen your van outside Q&B in Cumbernauld today. If not, you have a doppelgänger!

 

I was looking for a space when you left.

 

V eye catching van BTW. I always thought CF's were a lot nicer designed than Trannies.

 

Keep up the good work

I'm not sure it's for sale and I'm afraid to ask in case it is.

 

Yeah, I know that feeling. That scary split second until one can do the sigh of relief if the answer is 'no'.

Or the pure, unadulterated ohshitmoment if it is 'yes'.

well iv found out where the noise is coming from underneath... the prop centre bearing is collapsing...i went on to ebay...£80...but as i read through info it stated 35mm bearing,so typed in 35mm bearing instead...up pops the bearing for a MK6 transit...35mm...£11 with next day delivery... and what a bit of kit it is..really heavy duty and will be just the job...i'll get it sorted for the forthcoming MOT...

i also picked two pairs (the price was right) of coil springs that are fitted to the shocker bodies and give a bit of assistance to the leaf springs...one pair rated at 750lbs and the other at 1250lbs...i'll see what works best...

 

cheers...al
