Re: Rear spring conversion source

We have someone in NW France who has to convert an RMC to coil springs> Apart from PSV is there any other source of rear coil springs and mounting plates? Are standard RM rear shocks suitable, and available for this project ?

My bus number (if any): RTL 960 RMC 1458

Re: Rear spring conversion source

There's a company i the west Midlands that can make vehicle coil springs. they recently made a set for the AEC GWR railcar at the K&ESR Railway. they used to be called Westwell Springs years ago but have been taken over a few times since i last used them.

My bus number (if any): RML2532

Re: Rear spring conversion source

I thought someone had some made Roy. I saw one on EBay the other day but it has gone. Can you get the Shock absorbers easily?

PSV Partsmaster had some rear shocks recently. I sold my last pair to Woods commercials recently.
