Found these springs from a Kawasaki Mule and thought they might work for a Cyclekart. Unfortunately the eye-to-eye distance is a little long at 750mm. Material is 6x50mm so also a little too heavy duty. They have three leaves, two of which are usable. I'm figuring that I can weld some mounting eyes to the second leaves which are 600mm long to make another pair of springs. The longer springs could be chopped down and used as 1/4 ellipticals on another build.
Was hoping that these could be a potential source of springs but alas the search continues.

BTW The 600mm length gives 174.28 lb/inch - a little on the high side.

Interestingly...
Spring rate for the single leaf at 750mm eye to eye is 89.23 lb/inch
Spring rate for the Renegade Cyclekart springs is 103.57 lb/inch
So the additional length reduces the spring rate to an acceptable level.
