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.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.

So the additional length reduces the spring rate to an acceptable level. More ...
