Where can I get a set of spring compressors suitable for fitting rear shocks to TVRs with the narrow coils?

Thanks

Saw some in the Demon Tweaks catalog this morning. COme in a set of three, although I would have thought two would have been sufficient.

Look like they might do the job although the price tag does make me wonder whether I will keep my teeth when useing them!

I got hold of a set for £20 modified them (A little grinding) and they worked a treat. Stood well back though gauntlets and ratchet spanner. used them again on the M with no probs.

I always assume it's going to slip or break and aim to be out of the 'line of fire'. One of my cousins was a bit more casual about spring compressors until the day he put the end of a damper through a brick wall, partition wall, kitchen window and tree (in that order). If you get it wrong these things can be more deadly than a crossbow.
