Sounds fair to me If yanked out and ready to go. These days time is money. I know how you feel about recovering cost Tony

sorry i know a bit about this kind of stuff but not heaps. are the shackles on the end of the leaf springs? what are front/rear plates?

The whole front axle assembly is interchangeable from Series 2/2a/3. Only things to watch is that the brakes are different 88/109/six,V8, but the entire brake assemblies can be swapped.

Also note that the wheel studs changed about the end of Series 2a, so if you want to keep the same wheel spanner front and rear you may want to swap hubs (either way). The tie rod ends come in two types, with thread all the way (late S3) or with threads only part way (S1 - earoly S3), and it is dangerous to have the wrong type screwed into a track rod or drag link. Drive members and stub axles are 10 spline except for S3 109 and late S3 88 which are 24, but again, are interchangeable. The drag link with provision for a steering damper came in fairly late S2a production but is interchangeable with the earlier one, depending on whether you need a steering damper.

The spring shackles are the link between the rear end of the spring and the chassis. These are the same on S2a and S3 (and interchangeable between S2 and S2a - change from BSF to UNF) but military ones are longer (and have a bolt and tube in the middle between the two plates) and should only be used with extended front spring hangers fitted to the military chassis.

Hope this helps,

John

Shakles on most 109s civy are 1/2" longer than 88 civy. 109 = 4" 88 = 3&1 1/2. Front lower plates to suit.
