Leaf Springs |

|
Based on a previous postings regarding where to source leaf |
|
springs in the U.K., I made contact with the owner of Midland |
|
Motor Springs. |
|
I have been advised that they are willing and able to |
|
manufacture springs to any specifications required however they |
|
are moving premises and will be up and running by the middle of |
|
April. |
|
They will however be retaining the same contact number and/or |
|
can be contacted via there website. |

I too have spoken to Midland Road Springs, however they did not |
|
really know what the spring was and asked for a drawing, can |
|
someone who has purchased springs from them provide a job number |
|
so as to make ordering a lot easier. |
|
I have also spoken to Rossendale Road Springs who can make them |
|
to imperial measurements and require a sketch/drawing so what |
|
size hole is in the eyelet? |

|
I ordered: |
|
www.midlandmotorsprings.com �100+vat for a pair of springs with |
|
bushes (560mm centres, 5mm thick, 38mm wide, 80mm camber) |
|
No job number at Midland Motor Springs but invoice number was |
|
42751 (3/12/2018). Pretty certain the contact was called |
|
Roger. |

Thanks Stefan for the info, can you remember the eyelet size |
|
for fixing to the chassis as I also want to send an enquiry to |
|
Rossendale Road Springs as well as Midland Motor Spring and get |
|
an uptodate price. |
|
Chris, I will ask the question from both firms and will post |
|
information back here once I get it, but I do need to send them |
|
a sketch before they will quote. |
|
Regards |
|
Clive |

I didn�t specify the eyelet but the hole in the bush in the |
|
eyelet was spec�ed at 12mm (they actually made them 1/2� which |
|
was frustrating - so worth being extra clear about that) |
|
Btw, I asked Jones-springs for a price and they quoted �70 per |
|
leaf! |

As Clive H is willing to undertake the task to make suitable |
|
enquiries as to costs from both suppliers, I am quite prepared |
|
to leave it with him, after all too many people making numerous |
|
enquiries only muddies the waters. |

My springs are slightly different but seem to work well. They |
|
are 20" eye to eye and the eyes are 3/4 id. 1.5" wide 3/16 |
|
thick. The axle mounting hole is 5/16" diameter and set forward |
|
9"-11" |

Jim, quick question, where did you get your leaf springs from, |
|
you omitted to say. |

They came from midland road springs and I think had a 2 1/2 drop |
|
from the middle of the eye. |
