Re: Spring rates for circuit racing
Anyone with blacksmith type skills will be able to fabricate one to your spec using the old one as a template. Work out how you are going to mount it though as the current front brackets will need to be larger and stronger.

Carl I've been asking my self the same question. When I get 5 mins I will look into finding a company who can make one to the same pattern. Not sure what steel to use either. If it is just a case of heating it up and bending it, shouldn't be that hard. Wound look at making it adj as well.

Didn't TJ modify a Sierra (What else?
) one to fit?
Then there's that Alfa Romeo one that's been made to fit in the states...

Oh yes I like that set up a lot and it means that a few holes make it adjustable
.
Lets gather some bits up and I will make a few
