We need new ones in the front for sure. But it’s likely to be part of a front end rebuild. But where to find the springs?
Perhaps Stanley Springs on Cameron Street in Harrisburg, PA
Will update when I know for sure.
UPDATE: Stanley Springs here in Harrisburg, PA makes leaf springs. Not coils. So I’m on a mission.
I finally found that Kip Motors had a set which I ordered.
But I also found that CoilSprings in the UK could provide them. From his email:
The Details I have for your car are a bit different but not massively so I will work with your information. However, I would like a description of the ends of your springs.
