New spring recommendations - Tom Coates - 03-09-2018
I want to get some new rear springs for my Cup with a reduced camber. I had considered ruby springs but I think these will be too bulky for the limited space available inside the body, and probably too stiff anyway.
Can anyone recommend a supplier for decent well finished road springs with spear ends etc..? I’ve heard mixed reviews about Jones Springs - some people say that they can be a bit rough and ready, others have had good results. I would normally get them from Ian but as they are non-standard and I need them fairly quickly he can’t help unfortunately.
Also, could somebody confirm the specs for a late 20’s chummy rear spring – overall length of the main leaf, number and section of the leaves and dimensions for the eyes and main mounting bolt hole?

If anyone has any recommendations for spring specialists in the north west please let me know. A friend of mine needs to have a full set off a 1933 Sentinel 6 wheel steam lorry seen too. Our mutual contact 'Arnie' in Liverpool has packed up

I am not sure if it is what you want but Owen springs in rotherham were knowledgeable and did a good job on my Wolseley hornet special springs.
They are usually at the NEC in November? And at least north of Watford!
