No, Mick I’ve never been to Jersey but one of my ancestors was born there, if you know of any Burleys over there they could be part of the extended family.
Knowing the guy who cut the springs was a bit of a throwaway line from another thread and I could resist chucking it in.
Hope you sort the springs out.

Hi when i did the maestro chalenge we used maestro diesel van springs which are 250lb on the front. When we did tarmac I used 500lb on 2.5in coil overs on the front and 250lb on the back on spax adjustables.
