HELP! 1275 Valve Springs?

[BWillis]

HELP!

I have my head ready to be picked up but am in need of a set of springs. Apparently the springs from the usual sources are on back order for at least 4 weeks!

Anyone out there have a set that they can part with?

Thanks!

Ben

Trevor,

Patience! LOL

I'm trying to get done for the big car show that we have in October. I don't have time for patience LOL

I spoke with Hap, he only has oversize race springs. I could even handle a good used set for now.....


Thanks,

When Drew was tearing apart his 1275 I told him to save everything (just in case) even if he was planning on replacing the parts.

I got this link from one of the guys on the email list:

https://www.shopmotorheadltd.com/shopping

The appear to have them in stock but I plan to call before placing an order online. I've never heard of them but they appear to have good prices.

Ben, I've got used ones and a set of new Isky race springs and aluminum retainers. If those guys don't have them in stock PM me.

 

[BWillis]

They didnt have any in stock either. Still looking.

Chris: PM Sent.

Ben -
I have a set that came with the 1275 I bought. The owner claimed it only had 20k on it, which I didn't believe, but the crank only required polishing, so maybe he was right. I had already decided to order a Kent md 266 kit that included new springs. If your still looking I can get them out to you (from Phoenix)on Monday. Haven't a clue what they are worth, maybe others will offer an opinion on price.

I think I have some coming from Chris on Monday. If something doesnt work out there I'll shoot you a message. Thanks to everyone for the help. I'm on a tight deadline now trying to get ready for EuroFest in October.

I just clicked on it in the posted link and it pulled right up again, for me. Do you have some kind of unusual firewall? Might ask Basil as it should be an ordinary link connection.

Thanks to Chris I have my head back together!! Should have the engine in tonight.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me through this.

Winners Circle has them he think, he for sure has them in Isky, and Mini Mania has more valve springs than you can shake a stick at, a kazillion spring that will take a stock retainer too.
