bilks Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 2004 is a Red Shocker,Yours look like 2003 but spring still fits Try Beta UK or Try Richard Allen trials spares 01933 314145 or 07917 406313 in uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Try an email to Richard Allen (contact details at www.allensusedtrialsspares.co.uk) as he's breaking early Rev 3s and a secondhand spring could be worth considering as a cheap way out of your problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b182 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks guys for the contact. on polish fb trial profile guys told me the same thing. None of them ever broke the spring. They say that shouldn't happen. But it did! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotors7 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 You could try Faulkner springs, let them know the length, diameter and poundage and Bob's your Uncle they'll make one for you, simples as they say. Much better than a used and abused version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyt Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Not surprised this happened. One of the concerns of having a shock and spring exposed is the spring taking a hit to a rock causing a point loading scenario. That can cause a small fracture and it will propagate and fracture the spring resulting a complete break of the spring. If the spring was given to a metalurgist he could quite quickly determine the cause of the failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions where I should start looking for "the point loading scenario" that caused my car coil spring to break ?

klonheadd Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Hey b182, I have found replacement progressive spring here in this shop trialstribulations.net just use search box on their website for: beta rev3 shock spring. Also there is used full rear shock with spring on ebay for twice the price. search for: beta rev3 shock.
