Spring makers

[Blobber]

A few months back there were some good links to smallish spring manufacturers, I need to get some made and do you think I can find the thread/links now!
Any pointers would be great!

This thread mentions several spring manufacturers, plus there are a couple of links:

Spring help

Any spring suppliers that can supply a one off? Rebuilding the mill today and I've fallen at the last hurdle. Detent balls and spring missing. Now the balls I'm sure are 5/16" diameter along with the springs. But I need to find another spring. OD: 5/16" ID: 0.208" Wire Thickness...

This is what I need, 1st price in @ £35 each plus VAT for 10

These came up trumps, pretty reasonable price wise I think, cant do them until January as they have finished for crimble now but its not a problem for me

They made some new front fork springs for my trials bike to suit my increased mass a few years back, very cheap as I remember. The former MD of Lotus did the calcs for me

Harlow springs were 3 times the price of Alberta...

Luck of the draw, you win some ,you lose some. I guess it’s very dependant on application and what they specialise in. For my application no one came remotely close.

@500e your post has just sorted me out with some springs I needed.
