leaf spring rating

Post by stuart3925 »

Hi,

I'm fitting a dolomite sprint back axle to my minor and was considering fitting it with a 5 link set up, however if i can get a set of leaf springs that are hard then I will choose this route. can any one tell me what the poundage the existing leaf springs are?

Kind regards
Stuart.
