Oakley Horsebox springs

[old hand]

Hi I am hoping that someone on here can help with this. I have a mid eighties Oakley Supreme. The springs are weak and one is missing, resulting in a bad back or two people having to lift the ramp up and down. The spring hangers are all present (three) and secure. Basically I need three new or replacement springs. I have tried Oakley but they do not do this size any more , they are imperial and the new ones are metric and slightly longer and thinner so will not fit the hangers. I understand that new springs can be manufactured but have not been able to find out where. I am assuming that they will need the dimensions of the springs and the weight of the ramp to manufacture them. so additionally could do with an estimate of the weight of the ramp too. I would be grateful for any ideas.

Commercial body fittings is your first port of call.

Thank you Mutley75, looks like they can manufacture heavier ones if we need them. Many thanks.

We use these guys for manufacturing springs. They will need dimensions, or maybe an old spring?

Thank you Beausmate, have serviced the spring hangers and have got the springs off. Will follow up and look forward to a light ramp!!
