WANTED: Rear Spring Plates

[sucram]

I'm wanting to replace the lowered Red 9 spring plates with have fitted on our van, so does anyone have a good pair of spring plates for sale or know of anyone who may have some? Our Bay is a 1969 South African import.

Cheers.

We want to higher the van back up at the rear a little due to the ever increasing speed bumps in our area. At the moment the wheel rims (stock 14") are about in line with the arch, see picture, I think they have a 3" drop. We had a full front and rear Red 9 kit fitted but removed the front kit not long after it was fitted, it was too hard and the ball joints had totally locked out and the ride quality was terrible, we didn't like it all, plus the thought of all that load and continuous jarring that the damper mounting bolt was being subjected to began to scare us.

Not sure as we hadn't really thought about selling them at the moment. Want to buy some more originals, then lower it say 1 spline and see how we go with the ride quality etc, if she's happy then we will probably sell the Red 9 spring plates, in fact these were made up using our own originals hence we don't have any to put back on.

ah i didnt know you had to exchange or leave in to get made up no prbs mate.
