I dont know the legalities but surely you could get two blocks and weld them together and then get some u bolts made up to suit the length. Otherwise resetting the springs is the best choice and you can tell the guys what height you want it to sit and they will do it for you- can range between 300-500 depending if any bushes need replacing.

Agreed. I will be getting mine reset sometime this year.

I get a lot of axle tramp with the blocks.

While they are the right height, the pin and hole underneath is not big enough for a Falcon leaf spring setup.

Cheers

damn, they looked the same as the falcon ones in the pic. possible to drill em out etc and modify them? probably not worth stuffing around with for safety reasons?

I just rang around a few auto stores and asked in they could order in the blocks for the Falcon Wagon.

In the end Peps said sure, what size do you want?

The next day they were there.

i had to drill out the ones for 2.5" as they use a thicker diameter u-bolt due to the length of the u-bolt.

You can use EL Spring Saddles instead as they have the bigger holes for the U bolts.

quick update, spent some time on the wags yesterday arvo.
went and picked up my futura seats :)
plus some new carpet pieces.

so far the back half of the seat is bolted up, but bottem is just sitting, so i could take a pic.
going to buy a amp kit soon, plus some more fabrics to do a few other bits and pieces.
main thing is to put all wires for speakers in and all the wires for amps etc etc in, so i can get the carpet back in, get the trimming back in.

the carpet pieces add a nice touch, not much of a big thing but look alot nicer then the stranded trimming, although was abit annoying trying to get it lined up to fit.
but shes all good.

2nd half of roof liner:
i ran out of contact adhesive when i done the front part of roof liner, so going to pick up more the do the rear half, and few other places, yet to be decided upon.


will have more pics later on this arvo, and hopfully the interior will be almost done.
