Your imminent C303
Congratulations on your C303 Cliff,
Having given up the search for the Holy Grail in the form of an affordable Pinz 718, I am just completing purchase of a TGB 1314 from Richard, after meeting him at Billing LandRover (!) Show last weekend and lying under his C306 most of the afternoon checking out it's mechanical features and delightful simplicity.
I reckon the springs on the Volvo are altogether longer and wider than any Solihull product I've seen (not been TOO close to a 101 thankfully...)
But there are numerous leaf-spring fettlers around in the UK, you should be able to get whatever you want in ride-height and stiffness; judging by the C306 pics around on the other pages here, compliance will not be a problem...why are you thinking about changing them?
See you on this (and theYahoo?) list and in person hopefully to compare notes.
Regards,
Roy Gardiner

Hello Roy ,
Pick up the new toy on Saterday cant wait.
The reason for the change is I have had parabolics in the past and rate them very highly.
I went to billing to see Richards 6X6 in the flesh "WOW" love it .
The reason in the end I went 4x4 is the blue one off Richard has the bells and whisles i.e. pto winch, air con,webasto and if I have problems green laning in wales there will be no problem getting recovery as it a car .
The colour will have to change a nice "OG green satin" same as the wolf .
Hear from you soon

C303 springs
I noticed in the parts catalog, that the C306 has parabolic springs on the rear bogie, while the C303 has elliptical springs...same length though. ;^)
