I been looking for square u-bolts that will fit on a sierra chassis rail tight. I have tried repco, super cheap, coventry fasteners, trade tools and bunnings.
Everything i have come across has been too short or way to wide

Besides getting them custom made any other ideas on where to try?
They would need to be a minimum of 150mm long x 52mm Internal width x 14mm
I've tried using the u bolts and spring plate for my lux front diff but they are too wide

What about if you turn the u-bolts on an angle.

Not right but it will work lol

I've got a set at home you can have ridge. my local supplier has them in stock. no plate just the U-bolts, nuts and they have individual plates per u-bolt.

I'll send them up to you for $80 bucks. i paid $17 each for them plus some shipping to you.

i was goign to use them to brace my old ARB bar but never got round to it.

make sure you put a locating pin on the leaf as well (ie: a bolt welded to the chassis that sits in the hole in the leaf spring) - just a bit of extra safety to stop any movement.

most suspension places can custom make you some u-bolts.
