Springs rear axle
Hello,
I´m from germany and build an Robin Hood.
I need springs for my rear axle. 9inch, 130-150lbs.
The spring must have an inside diameter of 50mm (~1,97"
Can you help me?
Regards Stefan

By the sound of it you need a standard size 1.9" spring. unless that is you measured the body of the damper and that is 50mm, in which case you
need a 2.25" spring (again a standard size).
You can order either size from various internet mail order sites or from a local racing suppliers.

What dampers are you using, they may not use common size springs and us metric sized springs instead.
The 1.9" have an iternal diameter of 48.5mm so actualy I dought they will fit, or at best they will be a very tight fit.

That´s my problem. The outer diameter of my damper is 49mm. I use Spax dampers. Maybe I can fit a 1.9" Spring.
Can you tell me internet-shop?

1.9" spring No, dampers for 1.9" springs have dobys about 1.6/1.7" diameters.
I am fairly certain the springs you need are 2.25"
As for internet shops the ones i know are UK based and carrage to germay would cost about 50euros or more.
Better would be search for German shops, the carrage should be a lot cheaper.
Where did you get the spax dampers from?
Could the people who supplied the dampers supply the springs as well?

I bought the car in UK. I want change the springs because they are to strong. The dampers are Spax from UK and the springs too. (not Spax but from
UK).
The internal diameter is 50mm, realy.
Shit, 2.25" is to big (57mm)

1.9" is a rounded nominal size not the actual size the measure size will larger by at least 1/16" or even 1/8" .
Robin Hood use Zeereride dampers as standard with 1.9" ID springs, I suspect the springs you have in mind are too soft
If trying to sort out RH suspension read Rob Andrews web pages first.

I may have made a total mess up regard the shock size then. The info i've got reconed 1.9 springs on a shock of 1.625 body and 2.25 springs on a
2.0 body, but then it was talking about AVO shocks not SPAX.
I should have attached the standard disclamer about don't do as i say and don't do as i do.
