Where did you get springs or did you have them specially made and at what rate?

| Thanks for that, ive been trawling the net and have found that standard springs were rated at 90lbs while heavy duty ones were rated at 107lbs.Hope this might be of use to others in the future. |

| 1922 is your man for this I think, but not seen him posting recently. It might be in the WSM? If not I might be able to ascertain from my Rootes chap. However, I'm sure there was a post about springs in the past. Might be worth a search for 'springs' on previous postings. G. |
