I'm fitting rear parabolic springs from GB Springs to my Series 2A petrol 88".

The u-bolts GB Springs sent me are a bit thicker than standard ones, so the locking tabs I ordered by part number to match need drilling out a bit or I need to order correct ones.

How do I order nyloc u-bolt nuts and locking tabs for these larger u-bolts? Do I order by heavy duty part number, 1-ton, etc. what are they? Do all parabolic springs need to use stronger u-bolts? I though u-bolt size was only a function of the vehicle weight.
 
Music to my ears. And exactly why they sent me nyloc nuts and no locking tabs. :) Cheers Blackburn.

(Goes out to garage to see if there are nyloc nuts AND tabs on the front.. ;))
