Airoverleaf on a MGB ?

[ameela]

Hello everybody !

I am a complete newbie to this air suspension complex.
I am the owner of a MGB and would like to know if it is possible to fit a
Airoverleaf-system to this car. Does anybody know if it has been done before ?
What could be expected by it - will it soften the ride ? other benefits ?
Best regards
Ron

We have never done one. Got any pics of the suspension?

I am unsure if these pics are working, but try it !

There is not much room between the leaf spring and the frame. The smallest diameter air spring that we offer is 4". Will that fit?

If that means 4 Inches = 10.16000 Centimeters, that would fit.

OK. Well then how wide is the leaf spring and what is the distance from the top of the leaf spring to the bottom of the frame?

The leaf spring is 2.36 inch (6cm) wide and distance from top of the leaf spring to bottom of frame at the spot where I think the air spring will go is
7.28 inch (18,5cm)

Use the ARK2004.

Hi Darren,

thank you very much for your answers !
But coming back to my original question, can you alss say something concerning
what can be expected from it. And apart from ARK2004, what additional components
are required ?

It will help the ride quality and give extra load capacity. Do you want to put an onboard compressor kit on it or just fill them manually?

I would like to keep it as simple as possible !
