Good Morning Mr Chamberlain,

Unfortunatley we are unable to manufacture parabolic springs for Morris Minors. The development costs for such a limited market would be prohibitvely expensive. We do make new multi-leaf springs for the Minor but as we are up against cheap imports we are considered expensive.

Regards,

Anne,
Works Administrator.

will have to search for another company...
Not surprising you got that response from the "Works Administrator"!

As I stated, these springs being developed at the moment and are presently in heat treatment. Costing has not yet been worked out, and as the development costs are being split in a mutually agreed manner, the job is being worked on as and when they have the resources. I really can't see your reason for chasing different parts of the factory about something which is a/ under development, and b/ not a current "production" item!

By all means go your own way and find another company to develop this product for you!
dude, dont get your knickers in a twist!!!
