Hi Michael -
My experience is to have spring makers in the UK make them up.  There are several there, and generally they know what they are doing.

Best,
Alan

As is so common with "offshore " products I'm having ongoing problems with the currently available rear springs, in particular those for the 100.It seems that all the usual suspects source these from the same manufacturer in India and it is my suspicion that these are made from substandard steel. Typically leaf springs are made from 5160 steel which is incredibly resistant to deformation and fatigue. I don't have facilities to determine what steel is used to make these springs but it certainly isn't 5160!!Has anyone found a source for rear springs which last more than a few years?
