[Spridgets] MKIII Springs wanted.

[Rick Fisk]

The 9.4" springs were used from '58 to Jan. of '66.  Moss has them available.  I might have a set in the garage too.  Have to do a little digging.

I ordered some from AHSPARES out of england thinking they would have the right length and spring rate, only to be disappointed again as they are too long as well.
