I'm restoring a ratty BN4. One of my old springs was broken and then welded, then broken again at some point. No surprise that the weld broke. The previous owner was a welder so every time something came loose or broke on the car he welded it. The old adage that "when you're a hammer every problem looks like a nail" comes to mind. That's a longer story but I need at least one spring.
All the other spring threads talk about the aftermarket ones sag quickly. If you had only one usable old spring what would you do to restore a driver-level car?
Buy a pair from moss or AH Spares? Try to find an old used one? Try to find an old matched pair? Budget is a factor but I don't want to be short-sighted either. Thanks.
Can a specialist replace just the broken leaf and then re-curve my old set?
