Anyone know of anywhere in the midlands that does this?

if not i may have to go to brost forge as my springs are crap and the claps are loose.

Funnily enough, there's a place in Bridgnorth that does this, but not investigated in the end because we bought super stocks instead.

I'm going up to see our local friendly engineer later, he'll know. If I remember I'll ask him.

David, their holding up the garage floor nicely, Mate!

Will let you know when they go on the car, though.

Craig, checked with our man, he says British springs won't take one off's anymore.

Bit short sighted in the current climate though, I thought. Might be worth a try to see if you can talk them into it? Oddly enough, he said the blacksmith up the road would do 'em.

Ah! Not sure if I can help there, Mate. Kev or Blue might know? Got them s/h off Kev, but I have a funny feeling they were from Blue's dart at some point?!

Sure one of them will be along in a minute to clarify!
