Springs
Again thats another thing an engie can easily do.
for the amp fork, i needed one spring and phoned a few places to no avail, though one spring maker quoted me nearly 300 quid, talking about progressive rates and prototypes and other sheet meant to confuse and have me agree.
I eventually found a small engineering place based in some unit in the east end of Glasgow, went in brass necked as i usually do, old spring in hand to find 3 grubby oily Fred Dibnah types sitting round a gigantic teapot.
I asked can you reproduce this spring. 'Aye nae probs' was the answer, but we'd be better making 2 as a pair will have the same rate of compression, and trying to match exactly to the one I have would require quite a number to be made.
How much i asked, glancing round at the giant seemingly 100 year plus lathes and mills and and other weird looking machines.
Oh a tenner should see it right
Thinking now on the other company asking 300 quid and talking so much bollocks. I suspect their place would be immaculately clean, no oily hands and chock full of cnc gear.
