Sagy bum

Hi All,
The back end of my Bambi seems a bit low, both the bumper stops have fell of anyone any idea were I can get some new ones from?
Is there any chance someone with a Bambi could measure the gap between bass of the bumper stop and the axle for me please, or are they all the same?

My Bambi also seems to be lower at the rear - It looks like an airplane about to take off LOL. All that weight on the rear springs for 24 years hasn't helped. I think only a new (or possibly good replacements) set of leaf springs would restore its original ride height.

New or re manufactured springs required. An extra leaf added at the same time is the answer. A blacksmith should be able to do it.

I have seen on ebay new leafsprings for sale £150 each but this comes with all the new bushes is this about right price?
I have also seen shocks for about £45. each what do you think if I new that this would solve the problem I would pay it.

I think Tim Thornbury might have some sets of leaf springs kicking round.

Probably about the right price for both. Should sort out the sag.
