Front torsion bar needed

[michael14]

Has anyone got a front torsion bar available please? The nearside has completely sheared.
I’m in the Kidderminster area but willing to travel anywhere to get one and put my 1985 F4 back on the road asap

You'll be lucky to find one in the UK. There's one here, though: https://www.palace-de-lancienne.com/products/barre-de-torsion-avant-gauche/ He has the other side too.
The diameter is given as 17mm, which, according to my RTA (French manual), is right for the vans - at least the F6, but I imagine the F4s were the same. The GTL ones are 16.54mm in diameter.
Anyway, I'm sure they'll be able to help - best to check the diameter of the one(s) on your van and that the one in France will fit your F4.
Hope your van's back on the road soon!
