I need to reset my rear springs on my TA,can anyone clue me up? can I do them cold ? I have the dimensions in Blower, I'm a bit apprehensive as I believe the material can no longer be procured if I break 0ne.

Allan, several years ago I had an apparent replacement rear spring re arched by a truck chassis engineering firm. It was done cold one leaf at a time in a press that was designed for such work and has settled just a bit. Since I asked them to put a little more arch in than I needed, it is now about right.

Thanks Stephen, I took all the leaves out of each side except the master leaf and swapped them over,and now at least it sits level.
