Front springs for tvr s2 2.9

[waynes2]

Good evening all,

Just wondering if anyone has spare front springs for 2.9 s2 1989 as one of mine has shattered in three, want to use the car this summer and no funds to buy new coil overs till next year, if you do let me know how much.

All the best

Wayne

These could be fronts, or there again they could be rears




ETA Sorry, not your lucky day, messaged the guy who gave them to me and they are rears

Sorry to 'barge in' but could you possibly measure the unloaded spring in the pictured Koni's? TIA

No


If I can raise the enthusiasm I might stir myself to remove a spring over the weekend and measure it


Wayne, I may have some more hid away somewhere, I'll see what I can find if I have any time left after spending hours trying to get a spring off

Just the spring length on the shock..no removal required, wouldn't want to put you through that.

Just a thought?

How about contacting GAZ shocks in Essex? I'm fairly sure that someone there would give you their preferred spring poundage and unloaded length over the 'phone....Had my Gold Pro' s refurbished by them a few years ago and were returned PDQ. The new springs were about £20 each in addition to the damper refurb'.

Unfortunately it's not looking good, I'd have put money on having my old Koni's somewhere but buggered if I can find them. All I can find are an assortment of old springs for AVO/Gaz/Protech shocks but they are all a smaller diameter

By coincidence my plan this Bank holiday weekend is to put up a new shed and have a good sort out. Things don't always go to plan but if anything comes to light I'll message you.

Finally, it might be worth asking on the S Series specific forum rather than this general gossip one, there must be loads around with the number of folk who've fitted after market shocks.

Do you "do" facebook? There's a TVR S Series owners and enthusiasts group on there, lot more active than Pistonheads these days.

I’ve got a box of 4 springs/dampers which I took off my S3c a couple of years back. They weren’t too bad tbh, although I think one shock had a slight weep. I went for new as I’d replaced everything else on the car.
You’re welcome to them, as they’re just sitting in a box getting in the way..
I’m in Suffolk though..

[waynes2]

Tel,

I could arrange a courier to pick them up from you if you would kind enough to put them in a box?

Wayne

Pilpot good luck over the bank hol's hope all goes well, nothing like a good sort out hey

[tel595]

They’re already boxed up. I’ll get to my workshop later and measure and weigh the box. I’ll take a couple of pics too..
Message me direct if easier..

[waynes2]

Tell that would be great

Thanks to a very generous offer from Terry all sorted now!

Thank you all for your help and Pilpot I have joined facebook page as well thank you for the pointer.
