where to get cheap spring pins?

[bandy rooster]

i'm rebuilding/restoring a 40 frame and need new spring pins for the spring hangers, unfortunatly I do not have alot of money, does anybody know of any places to get them fairly cheap? i'm not trying to do a "cheap" suspension just seeing if guys have any ideas.


the PO of my rig actually welded a steel plate over the the one side of the spring hanger so a single regular bolt could be put through the spring hanger...well lets just say i'm not that cheap.

Cool Cruisers - 27.00
$or - 18.99
Man-a-fre - 16.00


seems to be the cheapest at man-a-fre for my 72 frame...


even if ya don't have answers there some info for someone out there..

Cheap?


Knock the plate off the old pin, and weld a bolt to it....


5/8" NF bolts on my fronts with the SR.... been that way since '99....


Good luck!

haha cool... just use the old spring hanger "plate" and weld a new bolt to it ... seams easy enough...
