[QUOTE=Ken Thurm;422226]Steve - This is the stuff that makes doing this more fun. Uncle Bob's female library is so BIG I bet he has to put them on a separate computer


Ken, the computer at NASA doesn't have enough gigabites to handle kindly old Uncle Bob's collection! You have to figure how much space each one of his cuties takes up!!

You are right about spring shops still operating in the dark ages, kinda like Blacksmiths. When I had the rear spring built for my 27 years ago I got a glimpse of how they do it..........lots of heating cherry red in a kiln and beating into shape with hammers. To show you how prices have changed, the one they did for me 23 years ago was $ 20.00. I had another main leaf made by the same people a couple years ago and it was $ 118.00! I was a little shocked to say the least.

Don,
I still can't get over the skill of this guy that made the springs. To see a real camercial craftsman like this guy these days is rare. He didn't call today, I hope I get them tomorrow so I can drop them off at the heat greater. I'm anxious to polish them, watch after all this heat they won't polish
