Andrew, you can weld springs but the problem is they will snap either side of where you heated the steel to weld it. i reckon you could get some made if the fabricator has something as a pattern. seems to be a popular issue i have heard of a fair few folks springs being snapped. I hope you get it sortid good luck

yes, i have been googling and it seems a bit of a waste of time to try to weld them. I will measure it up tommorrow and see if I can find anyone who has one or can make one at a half sensible price. thx

Google ALBERTA SPRINGS ask for Graham. They have made me several motorcycle fork springs from patterns, and can adjust the finished length to your specification to allow for wear in the original pattern. I highly recommend them. For price comparison, a single fork spring in say .007" wire is about £35 but cheaper for small batches. Ron

I can recommend Alberta too, though I've never had anything made as small as 0.007" wire.........

I am struggling a bit with the fabrication of the front wings for the T16 right now. If anyone out there can help I would be very grateful. The problem is that there is a curvature up in the front wing to encompass the front idler wheel. what I had on my T16 was incorrect having been changed years ago , and now I cannot really work out how it all fits together. There is a small fixed part of the fender which is horizontal and welded to the hull. I know the length and width of this , but where the problem that I think this may kick upwards towards the front of the vehicle, just where the detachable front fender bolts to it. If I dont get this correct I will not get the kick up right. Can anyone help please?
  if this works it will illustrate the kick up, but how that is arranged I cannot tell from my T16.
