front axle spring replacement

[costin moga]

I'm at the point of replacing the front axle springs. The old ones are resting on the rubber bumper leaving no room for spring travel. I think this was the original design ideea but my opinion it was a mistake. Basically the axle travels only downways performing a good axle twist but it does not levell any of the road bumps or stones leaving this at the mercy of the tire.

Seccondly, the lower main leaf is made of 3 parts having the eye tight on the upper main leaf. I think a classic military wrap eye and a continuous leaf will be better.

Has anyone on this forum performed such a change ? I would like to get some opinions.

I would do this at Owen Springs in the UK. They told me have done a pair of springs for Adam Servers. Can anyone get me in touch with him ?
