TomB Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Im after a full set of standard road springs for a 1996, De Dion, K series car (pre-1996 chassis & front suspension), with standard Bilsteins to replace my hard race springs. Im currently running about 270-300ib front and about 200ib rear which is simply to hard for crap northern roads! Im looking to change to the stanard progressive rears & linear fronts, which I think are 150ib. Could potentially arrange a swop if of interest, however it wont be until Ive replaced them.
Nifty Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Tom, I have some 150 lb front springs that came off my 1995 1400 SS when I went widetrack. No dampers etc. Are you interested? What are they worth? Nifty. Keep off the straight and narrow 😬
TomB Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 Nifty, they should be spot on, the right poundage & likely to be the correct width. Shall we discuss price etc off- line? Ill drop you a blatmail, Cheers, Tom
TomB Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 Front sorted, thank Nifty (I got your emails) Still after a pair of the standard rears if any one has any?
robmar Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I have a pair off my superlight 2001 vintage, any good 🤔 My MSN Space and Blog - Syndicate Using RSS
TomB Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 No idea if they would be suitable. I cant see why they wouldnt be. Are they the progressive standard road type?
robmar Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 yes I think so am going to oulton next week so can try an dsort out delivery that way
Nifty Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Tom, Might be worth asking the question about fit on Techtalk or ask Caterham. When I changed my DeDion tube it required different dampers due to the different mounting points .. so it might depend on your spec of tube as to whether they will fit. Can't be more specific I'm afraid but no doubt someone else can be Keep off the straight and narrow 😬
TomB Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 Caterham say that the rear springs from a 2001 Superlight would be OK. Nifty, Ill contact you again by email towards the end of the month
Nifty Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Tom, Just replied to your E-mail but I'm having alsorts of problems so posted here as well: I happenened to mention to Ernie last night that I was selling these springs on and he thought £15 each was too high .. appaerently you can get them for £17 (+VAT) each, new. When I then got them out I was a little disappointed with the finish on them. When I took them off, when rebuilding the car, I was going to put them back on and so I touched them up with black hammerite where they had got stone chipped. Looking at them now the finish isn't worth £15 if they can be had new for £20. I'll send them on to you and let you decide what you think they're worth for the pair (£10, £15, £20 ??), then perhaps you'd send a cheque to NTL rather than me. Don't worry about the posatge either, I'll consider that as a donation to NTL on my behalf. If you've already sent a cheque I'll either return it or bank it and return some and put whatever you think they're worth to NTL with my next envelope to Steve Winterberg. Cheers, Nifty. Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Edited by - Nifty on 25 Jun 2006 09:47:52
TomB Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 I received your emails, Ill look forward to getting them, thanks alot
