It seems to be a rare commodity at the moment, most stockists have every size but...

Just picking this thread up as a newbie. Springs seem to be the 'hard to find' item - I think I have sources for most other bits though will need to check periodically.
From what I've gleaned - I contact Midland Motor Springs, whisper 'invoice 42751' and they'll know what I'm talking about and expect £110 to £120 for a pair.
Have I got this right?

Thanks for that info, Rhys. I'll order some for delivery when SWMBO is out :-))

Hi, I'm based in South Yorkshire, just a few miles from South Yorkshire Kart Club.
I make things - always have since childhood - currently building a Tinkerbell style steam locomotive. I may have a 74 year old body but my mind is still very young.
I'm at the basic research stage at the moment.
I'm planning to start my CK build towards the end of the year, currently looking at a Riley 12/4 Special though this may change.
I'm aiming for a simple basic low cost system that can be upgraded in the future.

I've been looking at wheels too, these in particular - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194482787533?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D61c4550fcd4f4aa7a790f1422d5130db%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D9%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D115199404665%26itm%3D194482787533%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A02f168b4-853c-11ec-bb20-7e3be15bfcd6%7Cparentrq%3Ac195e5d317e0a7650d5ac347fffd7ad6%7Ciid%3A1
They are for the c90 front. Am I right in thinking that the same wheel can be used for both back and front? they have a great offer if I buy 4.
