Have managed to shear off the lower rear shock mount on the spring plate (drivers side/offside). Looks like I may need to perform some R&D :rolleyes: Although it has lasted a good number of years since modding my 88.

Can anyone help locate any of these? I’m assuming they are not remanufactuered at present.

As I am struggling to find them.

I can find a couple of different spring plates listed for the front axle. Anyone know how these differ to the rear or if they can be substituted? Or got any links to the rear ones.

The parts book is above, they do have different part numbers from fronts and according to which axle is on, I would measure axle dia and u bolt spacing , can the old one have a new stud welded on if stuck , they look about £40 each

The shackles are the same width front and rear so they should be interchangeable shouldn't they, got one in the shed if you fancy picking it up......
I must admit that the idea of welding on a bolt is a bloody good one cos getting the split pin and washer on can be a right pain in the wosname.
 
Thanks. JohnCraddock claim to have one in stock, so have ordered it. £60 all in though!!!

It has sheared off at an angle, across one of the holes for the U bolts, not just the pin. Mine had been adapted slightly to cater for the longer shocks.
