    88” Ute refurb

    Have a brake and rear spring refurb to do on our 88” Ute. The rear springs have expanded with rust over time and are well past serviceable, I managed to score some 109 8 leaf springs from a wreck at the tip so will put these in. Having a look today I will have to remove the fuel tank to get to the front right spring bolt ( more work).
    Where do people recommend for brake parts? Have had a quick look at local and uk sites but not sure if there are local parts in aus assembled or uk parts are compatible?
    how to turn photo?

    Brake parts from any supplier UK or Aus should fit your vehicle provided you give them the correct information as to what your vehicle is running, changes may have been made by previous owners over the years, nutting out old Land Rovers can be like vehicular archaeology

    A 109 at the tip was a good find grab as many bits as you can store as a lot of 2a and Series 3 parts are interchangeable.

    Cheers Paul
