Chromed Model A rear spring-who makes/sells them?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Max Gearhead, Nov 10, 2011.

  1. I see that So Cal sells a chromed Model A rear spring but does anyone else make them? Any sellers out there besides So Cal? Thanks.
     
  2. Bump for the night crew.
     
  3. What's wrong with the Socal one?

    As a side issue down here we can't run chromed springs due to hydrogen embritlement issues associated with chrome plating. In high stress areas, eg tailshafts (aka Jag IRS) failure can be instant and without warning. However if component or spring is heat treated within 2hrs of chroming and you have a certificate, you have no issues.
     
  9. Yeah.... that'll do it!! :D

    Good chrome (not chinese) is so expensive now, I just got a couple of brand new radiator stay rods chromed by a very reputable shop and that was $175NZ (about $155US). Near fell off my chair.
     
  10. Posies sells them with or without the buttons but they cost over 600 bucks!:eek::eek::eek:

    Just a repro bare spring costs about $250 from this place:

    You really think any chrome shop would chrome all those leaves for cheaper than $240?

    I think $489 sounds like a good deal.
