Series 2000 TJM Leaf Springs

[Jim_Phillips]

TJM do replacement leaf springs for 60 series cruisers. They are called series 2000.
Does anyone have any experience with them?

Also interested on thoughts regarding Ironman Suspension and OME light duty (The only OME I can afford) Are the light dury any good? 90% of the time it's just me and the dog in the cruiser - I presume they are Ok for the job they are built for and won't sag after a week...

Cheers, Jim

I've heard (no personal experience) that the light OME's tend to sag especially on the 60's. You may want to pony up for the med's.

Difficult for those of us in the States to know what you can get in the UK.
I've also heard good things about Dobinson's and Belton's. Both distributed out of Australia, probably made in asia, and considered good inexepensive alternatives to OME. Look them up. I believe they also make springs for the Series Land Rovers, so you may find info about them from the Rover groups.

The Old Man Emu and TJM Springs are made by King Springs. And the Old Man Emu and TJM Dampers are made by Monroe.

No idea as to who make Ironman - Guess would be Carrolls, Which are also made in Australia.
Carrolls and Ironman are the only Spring retailers to quote Spring Rates and Damper Lengths.

I've Gabriel Red Ryder Gas(Made in America) Dampers, As the Australian made stuff is far too exspensive. Steering Damper is also a Gabriel. - Made in Mexico.
