Would Series II leaf springs fit on a 1957 Series One?
Daisy , my 109 , has developed a bit of a list.

I'm working from what i've read and seen here not from experience, but i thought that the series 1 had narrower springs than the later series'es (and thus different mounts and stuff)?

a SI 109" might have SII-style springs, though. 's about the last of the SIs.
The older SIs esepcially SWB had narrower springs, yes.
The earliest 80" had narrow springs front and rear with reversed shackles on the fronts and later 80"s had only narrow on the rear IIRC. All the other series 1, 2 and 3 will fit your 109" as far as sizes go but the strengths are different.
Martin.
In a word - yes! Apart from early 80" SI's all series vehicles have the same springs dimensionaly speaking.

out of interest, do you do parabolics as well? I'd not fit standard leaves to a series any more unless it was a rarity and I was bothered about originality.
Certainly do - they are on special offer this month too - if you mail me I'l do a quote - note though that we don't do the very cheap ones available from one or two places.......

The dumb irons come with everything forward of the crossmember - you cut the old one of flush with the memeber and the new one welds on - complete with a lip to locate it properly.
Not that I'm aware of.
