Rear End Springs

[Jay Laifman]

I've seen mention that the rear end springs changed over the years.

Is there a difference between S3 - SV, including very late SV springs?

Jay iirc, si springs are narrower, after that think are the same and tigers have a higher rated set. So sii-v are interchangeable

Hello Jay
Mine Ser II spring are narrower in the front by about 3/8 the last 4 or 5 inches.

Having springs made.

I'm in the process of having springs made to the exact specs of the older series 2 by a local spring manufacturer after having broken springs and finding only used replacments I'm not happy with.
I'm going to possibly have these made in quantity if I get any feedback for a need and provide them to other sunbeam owners.
The lack of replacements I find unacceptable unless you fine gentlemen can point to a good source I don't know about..

new mains

SO here is a picture of my new main leafs, they are slightly thicker, i did not measure them yet but its not by much,, I don't think ill notice much difference in ride.
I paid around 75 dollars a piece for them, made by atlas spring in southern California, great bunch of guys..they do springs for off road and can make any type of spring pack you want....

If you need any help getting some, i gave them my old ones to go by and match up.. i can drop them off to them again if need be...

Chaz.
