Big Brother Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I need to use/borrow a spring compressor to refit the (freshly powdercoated) springs to a pair of Spax shocks. These are not adjustable shocks and the springs have pretty tight coils. Redline said they would fit if I pop them in. Just wondered if anyone closer to home may be able to help. Steve Se7en-Up!

soupy Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I have a set of spring compressors (ground down to fit tight spax springs) you are welcome to borrow. But is Bournemouth local ? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 Oooops - need to update my location ❗ I'm in Yateley, Hampshire. Redline (Caterham) is about 45 minutes away... Steve Se7en-Up! Now with added green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevefoster Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I either have compressors or expanders can't remember which. Can check for you when I get home. Why I have spring expanders is a long story.... Hants (North) and Berkshire Area club site here My racing info site here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Thanks Steve, I tried to call you (thought you may have something - you being a racer ) but think I must have your old telephone number.

soupy Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Seems like your sorted 🤔 Else Redline being 45 minutes is shorter than a trip to Bournemouth. But if all else fails you are welcome. email me if you require them: andNOSPAMrew@eleanor.freeserve.co.uk (note remove capitals NOSPAM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefoster Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Nope! Mine are spring expanders. Can't you do it with a coupe of those small ratchet straps on each side Steve?

Big Brother Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Thanks for looking Steve, We used 3 ratchet straps to get the old springs off and it wasn't easy. The coils of the spring are so close together that we couldn't use the hooks on the end of the ratchet straps. Also, undoing the straps afterwards was "interesting" Soupy, Many thanks for the offer *thumbup* I guess Redline will be quicker/closer as I need to get the springs fitted ASAP. Problem with Redline is that I always end up buying something....They've just got tooooo many goodies on the shelves! Cheers all Steve Se7en-Up! Now with added green!
