Hi Wayne - hopefully that plate holding the bottom of coil on the front is just bolted through the hole on the diff plate.
The rear doesn't look so bad, hoping that extra plate has just a few tack welds.
I have plenty of valve block o-ring kits, and a few compressor seals but no complete valve blocks sorry.
Jezza - I could be wrong, but I think the bolt holes on the plate at the top of your coil may be larger than the usual 10mm (will check and confirm) that the lugs at the top of the front air springs have, maybe it is just my eyes :)
It is normal for there to be four holes at the top of that tower.
Cheers, Paul.
Job done without to many dramas. The rear had plates tack welded to the axle and the tops used the old airspring top plate and a steel plate, all held in place by the original R clips. The fronts again had plates tack welded to the bottom and the usual plate bolted on the top. Peterjam was 100% correct on his prediction on the fitment.
So I am now riding on air sort of. The car did its best to raise up however the Valve Block is leaking like a sieve. Valve Block R & R to be done ASAP in the meantime my bypass kit is keeping up me riding on air.
Spring kit is in the markets, if anyone is interested make a sensible offer.
Good work! You have brought another P38 back to its original riding glory!
Cheers

Well done Wayne!

Great stuff mate!

Wayneg I have a complete valve block at home it was holding air when i bought the donor car it came in, i let the aiir out a month after it arrived at the house and the bags were still inflated so no leakages. I am away at present but if you want to contact me i can arrange to have it sent to you i also have two complete kits for the valve block i have kept the compressor to run my air lockers using existing air tank. Also will have a complete chassis, two doors, rear upper and lower tailgate and extras if anyone is interested. Sorry Wayneg not trying to steal the post but the chassis has all the right bits for your air springs to sit in and two diff housings to boot.
Gippy:D
Thanks for the offer, PM sent
You're mad.... but congratulations on your successful insanity. :p:p:p

So into the Valve block today for an O ring renew (thanks again Paul). 1st solenoid off was the one atop the exhaust diaphragm. The central small O ring looked like this.....

Think I have found the problem why air was going out at the same rate as being pumped in? :D Also the actual diaphragm had a 10mm split in it, not sure if it was all the way through though. Got to feel sorry for the poor guy who could have spent 10c on an O-ring if only he had known before castrating the car at great cost
