[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 125924, member: 456"] I am not sure . One of the heavier people who bought one of the JE steering stem kits from me wanted adjustable spring boxes so that he could tune the suspension, rather than resorting to using packing pieces. It took me some time to find a suitable tube in stainless steel and the tube I did find was the correct OD but the ID was only suitable for the weaker springs, not the 45lb/inch needed for someone well over twenty stones. Eventually a Northampton based member offered to bore some of the tube out and that took some time. I now have enough tube to make up at least three of these systems but those who follow some of what I do will realise that things have to get fitted in and so far the adjustable spring boxed have not got to the top of the list. It might be easier to find mild steel tubing the right size rather than the stainless I was interested in. [/QUOTE]
