Don't have the info handy but it's the same part number as the Spitfire's
swing spring so specs would be the same. The problem with making a
composite to replace this type of spring, is you WILL loose all benefiters
of this design, (increasing the likely hood for a dangerous tuck under
condition under hard cornering, necessitating the addition of the a camber
compensator to prevent this) unless you make it work the same way - which
would be impossible, as I see it, with a one piece composite spring-
