Simplex Springs?

[ron]

Hi Everybody
Can anyone tell me what size and weight of springs to use for the main suspension on the standard Simplex, there is no indication on the drawings or the instructions, the parts suppliers don't know either? The spring pins are 3/16" dia and the free length looks to be about 1".

Hi Ron,

there's a bit about the springs on the Simplex website that may help:

Thanks John, I'd forgotten about that website, I've ordered a dozen no 13s from GLR, I'll see how I get on with them for a start

Hi Ron

I had a set of springs of Poly Engineering for a Poly iv as it is of a similar size to Simplex.
