The ones that came with the lowering kit, genuine Grayston kit for Marina. The U bolts were long enough to fit over the 4 leaf spring and the 1.5" lowering block, and I still had to cut some of the threads off.

Re: Marina Axle U Bolts
Probably not too much of a surprise, given BL intended to use the Minor axle in the Marina (if it's true that BL had originally intended to simply "stretch" and rebody the Minor, until they visited the factory and found out what state of the Minor tooling).beniboyz wrote:The Minor ones are the same diameter as Marina ones, the radius is also the same. I last used a set on a Mk3 with 2" lowering blocks. There was plenty of thread left over so I trimmed them to suit.

Re: Marina Axle U Bolts
To add to the confusion, I have just heard from Grayston that they have discontinued GE26 Marina +35mm U-bolts though they are still listed on their website.
How this affects their Marina Lowering kits is debatable.
