Does anyone sell a complete reversed standard spring?
Thanks,John
You can do it yourself. Mark your spring on the garage floor with chalk. Then mark across the leaf at 2" intervals. Beat on those intervals with a BIG hammer and hit it until it is reversed and the same shape as your chalk mark on the floor. Another way is to use a bottle jack and press it into the reverse shape. A bit easier on the ears too. It takes a couple of hours to do, each hit or press will move it a little, so patience is required. I did mine, works fine.
