Thanks OPE, it might be too expensive unless they can make up a bunch of them to keep the cost down.

Thanks joker someone else mentioned those, just not sure on the spring diameter and length.

 

[Bill Ellerby]

Have you checked McMaster-Carr? Look up compression springs, they have cut to length springs.

 

[owend]

Thanks Bill, I will look into that!

Thanks Bill, I will look into that!

I looked there for you as well. From your photos, those springs look like expansion, not compression, with the hooks on the ends.

Thanks Dave!

Damn those springs:hammer: All that I can find are expansion and no compression style! I will keep looking and thanks everyone for the help!

I ordered a bunch a parts from Ron Kimball, what until my buddy gets the Bill.:laugh: I am still on the hunt for the fork springs.

Still looking for those front springs and waiting on parts from Ron Kimball. Some progress though.

I found a place that has enough coil steel to make 2 pairs of front springs. They would be $35.00 for each spring if anyone needs the other pair let me know.

That is about right on price. I had a company lined up a couple of years ago to make 12 springs at $30 each. No one wanted to pay that much.

That's what it cost me, hopefully someone needs the other set.
