Spring Materials

[Deltic007Participant @deltic007]

Hi all,

I need to get hold of some Tufnol strip to make up a leaf spring assembly,Question is where from?

Nobody seems to sell 7/16 x .070" or even wider to cut down. Reeves do sell some but nothing that fits the bill.

Is there an alternative i could try?

Maybe SRBP printed circuit board, though it's usually 1.6mm thick which is 0.063", and a couple of thou less if you strip off the copper.

Or paxolin sheet, like this 0.0625" stuff LINK

Edit: I see that Tufnol themselves do a 2mm (0.079" )thickness ANOTHER LINK . Don't know what the minimum quantity is, though, and I think there's a tolerance of plus or minus 5%..

These people: **LINK** sell Tufnol sheet, though the thicknesses are 1, 2, 3 etc mm, so you might have to do a bit of re-calculation.

M-Machines sell Tufnol Strip & Sheet in various sizes. (They should cut it down to the size you want if you ask)
