Hi Steve

It is common for pre 1930 Chummy based vehicles to have springs set at 8” due to an error printed in the ‘green book,  The Austin Seven Companion’.  I believe that the correct spring set is 6” but this may be different for vans.  My RK had such high springs and a set of front and back springs from Ian Dunford put the car at exactly the right height. I’m sure Tania will have the info on van springs.

Cheers

Howard
