Leaf Springs
By: Scotty Date: March 30, 2021, 4:36 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Based on a previous postings regarding where to source leaf
springs in the U.K., I made contact with the owner of Midland
Motor Springs.
I have been advised that they are willing and able to
manufacture springs to any specifications required however they
are moving premises and will be up and running by the middle of
April.
They will however be retaining the same contact number and/or
can be contacted via there website.

I too have spoken to Midland Road Springs, however they did not
really know what the spring was and asked for a drawing, can
someone who has purchased springs from them provide a job number
so as to make ordering a lot easier.
I have also spoken to Rossendale Road Springs who can make them
to imperial measurements and require a sketch/drawing so what
size hole is in the eyelet?

I ordered:
www.midlandmotorsprings.com £100+vat for a pair of springs with
bushes (560mm centres, 5mm thick, 38mm wide, 80mm camber)
No job number at Midland Motor Springs but invoice number was
42751 (3/12/2018). Pretty certain the contact was called
Roger.

Thanks Stefan for the info, can you remember the eyelet size
for fixing to the chassis as I also want to send an enquiry to
Rossendale Road Springs as well as Midland Motor Spring and get
an uptodate price.
Chris, I will ask the question from both firms and will post
information back here once I get it, but I do need to send them
a sketch before they will quote.
Regards
Clive

I didn’t specify the eyelet but the hole in the bush in the
eyelet was spec’ed at 12mm (they actually made them 1/2” which
was frustrating - so worth being extra clear about that)
Btw, I asked Jones-springs for a price and they quoted £70 per
leaf!

As Clive H is willing to undertake the task to make suitable
enquiries as to costs from both suppliers, I am quite prepared
to leave it with him, after all too many people making numerous
enquiries only muddies the waters.

My springs are slightly different but seem to work well. They
are 20" eye to eye and the eyes are 3/4 id. 1.5" wide 3/16
thick. The axle mounting hole is 5/16" diameter and set forward
9"-11"

Jim, quick question, where did you get your leaf springs from,
you omitted to say.

They came from midland road springs and I think had a 2 1/2 drop
from the middle of the eye.
