[TR] [NET] TR3 Leaf Springs?

[David Friedlander]

Thanks, Dick.  The problem is TRF doesn't HAVE a source!
They sometimes advertise parts for sale that they neither
have in stock nor have a supplier who can accurately
produce/reproduce them. I have purchased parts numerous
times, over the years, from Rimmer Bros. But the shipping
charges can be quite steep.

My question was whether anyone knew of a reliable source of
TR3 leaf springs that wouldn't be too stiff. I'm guessing both
Moss and Vicky Brit have them but... are they too stiff? Does
anyone know? I'd guess a spring maker could make them if I
had all the spring-rate and data they'd need, along with my
old springs...
