Chaps, hoping that someone may have a lead. I'm looking for some rear leaf springs for a Riley Kestrel. Not getting any joy from the usual suspects like Blue Diamond and the register. Can anyone suggest where I might be able to acquire or get some made?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, 1936.

Rescued from banger racing in the 80's and turned into a special.

Give Brost Forge Ltd a ring on 020 7607 2311. They are experts at leaf spring work

Gentlemen,

Thank you very much indeed. In the end, Ian Gladstone has sorted out an old pair of springs which Brost Forge are going to do their thing with, apparently a new top leaf and the remaining leafs re-tempered.

Thank you again for the swift and very helpful info.

Best

Neil
