If you know what rate you need Ross, I don't think it costs much to have a pair of springs made

Thanks Dave, any company you would recommend ?

Locally I would try Entex springs on Glaisdale drive in Nottingham but you may have a supplier more local?

I don't know of anyone specifically no, there are many spring manufacturers down here, mainly in Redditch, but I've no actual experience of any. I have had some springs made but they were done though a back door contact but they were pretty cheap. I don't imagine it would have been much more over the counter. I've heard other people say they have had springs made for not much cost.

I'd measure them, wire thickness, overall length and internal diameter, then just pick out a few off google and see if you can get some quotes.

The only place I can think of that might have some originals is Vale Onslow in Birmingham as they have masses of stuff for British bikes as the shop has been going since the 1920s. Old Len died in the early 2000s but son, 'young' Len (now 80 and was in the same school class as my dad) has worked there since he left school, as has younger brother Peter and the stuff they can remember is incredible. Be warned though, it can be hard work. (and my mum was at school with Jeff Smith's sister) Can't see the shop being around for too many more years, not only because of their age, it's falling down.

Which pursang springs does everyone talk about ? From whichever model ? Or are they all the same ?? I am looking to replace my lobito mk4 springs and am considering putting in pursang ones but wondering if they all have same ???
