[grantxtian]

Starting to renovate Sunliner 1959

Great van, one owner in family - inside original and in perfect condition , outside needs a little minor work
looking for news wheels and tyres plus upgrade suspension

if anyone has specifications, factory specs etc would be much appreciated - want to keep as much original as possible excpet for saftey items

Hi & welcome Grant. Go to & click on Down History Lane header. Then Caravan & Topic Index. Scroll down to Sunliner header.Three pages of pics etc. On the first page there is a small & larger pic showing suspension.Might be of help. gordon

Hi Grant,

I rebuilt a Sunliner independent suspension model a few years back.
At the time Spyder gave me a list of Suspension bits needed, from King Springs. I managed to fix mine without buying any of these bits.

I've just found the document . I sent it to Roger in WA when his fell apart on a kerb, & I think it got him sorted out with the repair.
For what its worth, here is the list.


PARTS AS FITTED TO SPYDERS SUNLINER SUSPENSION
( HOPEFULLY CORRECT)

* 2 x Sleeves FH105 Sleeve THR-M55X2-48 I.D. X 120 LONG

* 2 x Seats FH2015 Seat 60 I.D. SPRING LOW – FH1015-20

* 2 xLock Rings M55x2 OFOR FH1015-2

* 1 x KPF – 215 350-65-12.5-13-30016 PROSPORT

* 2 x UL36F606A SUZUKI SIERRA 4-96-12-98SPD

* FRONT SHOCKS SUZUKI VITARA
FITTED KING COIL OVER SPRINGS
KONI HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE

The above is how I wrote down what he gave me over the phone.
I have no idea if I made any errors transposing the numbers, as I haven’t had to check any of it

I make no apologies if its not correct, but I think it was OK back in 2008.

How awesome is this site, when a member can offer this kind of information to help others out.

Well done JBJ and to Spyder too.

We just bought our first Sunliner last week and bought "Gary" back to Tassie with us.
He too needs a suspension overall, and Murray Plaister kindly put me onto this link.
Its fantastic to have all this knowledge about.
Thanks to everyone
Cheers
