Wanted in UK - 8 leaf front GPW road spring set x1 and 1x rear 9 leaf road springs in usuable state to even up my W.O and Ford front/rear mismatched currently fitted. It's always worth asking even if you think you know the answer :wink:

I've currently got 2 original RH 8 leaf front springs on my VEP so if you end up with 2 lefts we could do a swap (or if I can find a left you can have a right).

I'm in Lincolnshire.

You should have made the trip down to War and Peace.
There were several big jeep dealers there from the UK and Europe.

Mark, I wouldn't have thought that they would have any. I had the impression that GPW spings weren't being reproduced :( I would be the first in line for some.

Lots of UK vendors stock replacement springs but no one has originals or accurate repros available.

Sorry Dave, i meant to say that they would be "repo" not original. Still might be worth an ask though.
