[Tigers] rear springs

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

Clyde, that is an interesting perspective. I have heard that true spring steel
has not been made and used since the 1950's or so. If true, maybe that is part
of the reason they do not last. I also periodically hear about people getting
their springs re-arched. Does that qualify as "new" in your opinion? When it
comes to re-arching,B I have never seen any information on what are theB specs
or what you tell the company that is doing the work.B Do youB or anyone else
on the List have that information? Cheers, Gene

If you are dealing with original springs, B ie 40 plus year old, B they are
probably junk, B lube and reclamping etc will not put life back in them,
B this
is true for all old springs, B not just sunbeams, B new springs in an old car
can be one of the best improvements you can make to the driveability of the
car....Clyde
