trailer leaf springs help

[afcbob]

I just got my self a Trailer knew it needed work but did not notice it had a snapped leaf spring till i started stripping it back.

the problem is am not sure where to get or what ones 2 replace them.

I got a pic of them and if i measure straight across end to end is 35" or 34" to holes.

Am from the Scotland in the UK.

They probably came from a car of some description, which means you've either got to try and figure it out (it'll probably be the same one that donated the wheels and axle).
Failing that you'll probably need to try and find a pair of a similar length (within about an inch as you've got the swing arm) set from some other car. A motor factors specialising in commercial or vintage cars is probably your best bet.



Modern trailer springs appear to be 24" or 30", see Trailers For Sale-Horse Trailers-Ifor Williams Trailers-Surrey-Kent-South East.

I've got an used set of the 30" 1300kg springs from there I'd picked up to upgrade my Morris 1000 based trailer but never got round to using them because I decided they'd be too heavy. I'm also in Scotland (Glasgow) an open to offers for them

Still cant find a match for them tried look at cars/vans springs the only option i have it to get them made but at £148 each thats not good as well.

might be cheaper to relocate the shackle and get an inexpensive standard size spring, if you can move your axle a bit.

A spring shop could make a spring to replace that. Problem is cost compared to purchasing off-the-shelf springs. On the plus side you would not have to change the attaching points.
