Rear Springs
One of the rear springs on my 83 t25 Caravelle has broken. The springs fitted have 4 big coils which looking on Heritage parts site suggests they are heavy duty, the standard duty having 3 coils. I can’t see any paint codes on either but one has the number 95-650R which google suggests could be a -30mm spring although my van doesn’t appear to be lowered? Can anyone suggest what springs would have been factory fitted to a Caravelle and what is best fitted now. I’ve seen a lot mentioned about paint codes however as yet not seen any mention of those codes from those selling springs? Thank you

Re: Rear Springs
Caravelle should have been fitted with 255 511 105 C 952, which should have 2 blue marks, often hard to find now the paint has rusted off, it's just 2 1cm stripes hand painted over the black in one place
I don't think there is a direct replacement for this spring available now so you will be looking at replacing the rear pair or all 4 depending on what you choose to use, or trying to find a good used one, worth trying the usual breakers and putting up a wanted ad. Brickwerks do I think note colour codes in their spring listings

Re: Rear Springs
Do your used ones have 4 large coils? Do they have 2 blue marks as previously mentioned? How much would you want posted? Thank you
