Rear suspension has been converted from using just leaf springs to using leaf springs and coil springs. The leaf springs were first of all de-cambered by Jones Springs in Darlaston. The coil spring mounting brackets on the van are made from 5mm steel, plasma cut by Barnshaw Profiles and bent to shape by Barnshaw Press and Shear. The top and bottom have been strengthened with additional 5mm steel plate. This bracket is attached under the main chassis rail of the van. Hydraulic rams are mounted on top of the leaf spring to axle mounting points. The original Ford dampers are still in place. |
