K model Bedford shackles.

A friend of mine is looking for shackle pins and bushes for the springs on his K model Bedford.
Can anyone help?

He has tried all the parts suppliers he can think of, with no luck.

He is in an outer Melbourne suburb.

Hi Morris Give these a try Auto Surplus, Vangard Wholeselers I will not use these blokes but A C W and Adrian Daws 97766809. If no good try U K Ebay The other thing on the forum a while back someone said were they could get them made but big $$$ I hope this helps .Cheers Fill

If you don't mind sourcing from the UK try. bygonebedfordbits.co.uk. Pretty certain the proprietor Norman Aish has the parts.

Suspension Supplies Australia will be able to fix him up. They are major suppliers to the industry but also do retail sales and have a very good workshop for any spring or bush work on vehicles. in Brisbane.

Any engineering shop can turn down some random oversize pins and supply bushes but many suspension places and spring works are set up with all the right bushes, reamers and pins.

The shackle pins will be hardened.

I'd try the uk sites via the uk ebay system.

FJ bushings in ringwood could make them. They made an inner bearing race for me to a 1-2 thou exactness. some of the best service I've had.

Morris, this mob fixed me up for the ACCO , all the pins and bushes, had the stock in the store room. But they dont have the shackles, (mine are flogged into oval holes), they are making inquiries.
