Re: Changing Springs
Where is the best place to get some new bolts for the shackles and the springs?

Re: Changing Springs
Dave @ Llama is spot on. I've had a fair amount off him over the years. Good service too.

He doesn't sell the bolts. What size are they? And how long do the shanks need to be?

Re: Changing Springs
Are we talking U bolts or the actual shackle bolts?
Bolts to replace the shackle bolts can be bought at any nut and bolt supplier for a few quid.

Re: Changing Springs
Spring to chassis is M12x100. Think the shackle bolts are M10x100.
Just take the old ones to a nut and bolt supplier and they'll match them.
