Re: Finding new standard (OEM) leaf springs for SJ410

Drawn a blank everywhere on OEM spec springs. +40mm easy, but standard no-lift impossible (so far). I'm considering having Jones Springs (Midlands somewhere) recondition a set of originals. Either take mine off or buy some from a breaker (think I have a source). QUESTION: anyone know spec of the spr...

Re: Finding new standard (OEM) leaf springs for SJ410

Spoke to the guy at Llama just now. V helpful, good bloke, but doesn't do springs anymore, got fed up with hooligans and unjust warranty claims. Has suggested I speak to Jones Springs (Midlands somewhere) - I'll try that, report back. Everything else I've found (OLd Man Emu, Iron Man, another Aussie...

Re: Finding new standard (OEM) leaf springs for SJ410

I’m pretty sure Old Man Emu also used to make stock height as well as +40mm, not sure if they still do the stock height ones but might be worth checking as well. That's the second recommend I've had for these (someone on an FB SJ forum) so I will investigate. I've phoned loads of UK places now, no ...

Re: Finding new standard (OEM) leaf springs for SJ410

This place should be able to help. They will ship to the UK. https://www.suzuki-diely.sk/sk/suzuki I checked out their website and was amazed how many products they had and at very reasonable prices. Excellent recommendation. I called them yesterday - loads of interesting stuff but don't stock SJ s...

Re: Finding new standard (OEM) leaf springs for SJ410

Excellent Scottie, thanks for help. I'll try that link and also investigate Maruti again, basically try all those options.
I also wonder if Trailmaster maybe still make them but no-one in UK stocks.
If / when I succeed I'll report back.

Finding new standard (OEM) leaf springs for SJ410

Anyone help please - want a set of 4 new leaf springs for my SJ. I will also replace dampers, bushes etc, but finding leaf springs is proving difficult. I know you can get India made Maruti ones on eBay cheap, but I'm not sure about quality. Jimnybits used to do the German Trailmaster but don't anym...

Re: My '85 410

Thanks Paul.The hood was with it when I got it though it was new back then - I'll check who made it. It's still good cos it only goes on briefly in winter, when the postman stops wearing shorts... November - early March.

Promised a few pics a while ago - here we are. My third SJ and had it about 6 years now. Found it down in Somerset, guy selling was a total nightmare to deal with but finally sorted something. Had been repainted original colour before I got it. I've had bullbar, rollbar, wheels and a few bits powder...
