Can anybody either tell me the free length, diameter, number of turns, and gauge of standard Bongo springs.

Or even better could someone who has lowered their bongo and still has the standard springs lend me one front and one rear spring for a couple of weeks please?

I had my standard springs knocking about for ages, then give them to someone needy, whom has since sold their bongo, otherwise, i'd have posted em off to you, sorry.

Hopefully somebody else can help, as I have a possible source of new lowered ones.

If I can get them the standard spec, they will see about a quote.

Somebody who can manufacture new springs? I know that a company called LEDA can make up bespoke springs for any vehicle,they remove the original(s), weigh the vehicle, ask your requirements, then take it from there...but i believe it's quite expensive...

I know of a bongo that is due to have a complete coilover kit fitted, i'll try to blag the old standard springs off it if i can.

If there is enough confirmed interest this firm will make up a batch and then keep the spec on file for future use.

three weeks to late, I had both standard and lowered OFF the Bongo that you could have measured. The lowered ones went in the skip and standards are now on.... Sorry...
