Mark, I'm in the Midwest USA and made three sets of 1.25" x .188" x 24"CL leaf springs for my own use. I'm one of those guys that likes to do everything himself.
I rolled the eyes to take a .875" Delrin bushing. My fixture was pretty make shift, rather laborious to use and was only suited for a one time run. Would it be possible
for me to get a photo or sketch of the fixture that you came up with? I have no intention at 80 years of age of manufacturing springs for sale, this is simply for my own use.
I had my heat treater temper them back to 42hrc. and they have a 4" camber which I can adjust in the hydraulic press.
Thanks, Denny Graham, Sandwich, IL

The leaf springs have returned from the heat treater, now painted and bushes fitted so if anyone needs springs let me know!

I will bring some on Saturday if anyone wants to have a look.

All the springs that we made have now sold I’m afraid.

The good news is that the steel for another batch was delivered yesterday.   

I would think they will be ready in around 4 weeks time, I will post on the forum when they are available again.

Another batch of leaf springs is now ready,

The price is £132.00 per pair including VAT and Carriage, assuming you  live in the UK (somewhere sensible).

If you would like a pair please email me at:

meunderdown@me.com

I will send you an invoice with bank details which you can pay electronically.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark, can you please give the dimensions, arch, width, thickness and length between the eyes?
We must avoid torturing our brains with false problems, it occupies but it can annoy. In jest!
