Trailer springs gone

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a 79 ski nautique with what i believe is the original trailer, ( It looks the same as the one in the appropriate reference section) although it has no plate on it for reference numbers etc. 

The leaf springs on one side have broken, ( 4 springs in total, largest spring approximately 27 inches centre of hole to centre of hole) 

Because i am in UK, very difficult to track a spring assembly down. It is a long shot,but does anyone know of a place that sell the assembly off the shelf.

Failing this i will have to change the whole suspension system or have a leaf spring made, both of which will be very expensive. 

Cheers.

	I purchased a set of springs from http://www.easternmarine.com . The installation was simple.

	I probably have the same trailer under my '77. I too had to replace the springs and the ONLY place (after exhaustive searching) that could find the proper springs was through my local correct craft dealer. And yes, the original springs as used by CC are oddball lenghts given the number of leaves and eyes at both ends.
