Hi. If you search threads started by me, you will find one about all the rods.
There are old threads about the springs as well, but have not tried to find them.

I used Lynn's dimensions and cut them out of an old wood saw.

An old wood saw is the best for them, just the correct tension and plenty about.

See posts:

Throttle leaf springs by George,
http://mapleleafup.net/forums/showpo...07&postcount=5

Steering cam control rods by Lynn,
http://mapleleafup.net/forums/showpo...65&postcount=1

(With regards the cam control rods, the length of the rod from tip of the thread to the center of the pin (long clevis end) is 687mm. this includes the 35mm of thread. This would be the total of CTL 2881 and CTL2882 (1941 parts book) if both were riveted together as one assembly (and any adjustment would be made at the small clevis end. This is here so that someone can make up their own rod assemblies using original clevises. I hope its all clear?)
