Anyone know what the time frame would be if we had a batch made ?
I just finished putting my bell housing together but if I knew I could get mine back in a reasonable amount of time ( a couple months or so ) we could use mine .   
I would buy one also , I,d like to have a spare .

Lee spring quoted me 5 weeks. I too have my bell housing ready (minus this spring). Wish I could find my broken one.
I haven't heard back from Axcess Spring yet. I'll try and follow up with them today.

Thanks for jumping in John!  We'll take a headcount after we get the final numbers from Sean on pricing and what minimum volumes will be required.  I know I'm in for one or two for sure.

Cheers!

Ok, Axcess spring isn't responding to my emails so I guess we'll go with Lee Spring. I received a quote of $81.66 ea. on and order of 20 springs. This is what I'll order. How about $90 ea. shipped?
Everyone who want's one email me your name and address and I'll put you down. sean@paintworksunlimited.com.
Someone want to send me one and I'll get it off to them so we can get these suckers coming?

PS, eight garage doors?  Sounds like you're making room for more 65 GS restorations!

Cheers!

All

I'm not personally in need of one of these springs but would the small V8-V6 3 or 4 speed cars need the same spring?

If so it could expand the interest in demand.

I'm glad to see we continue to expand solutions to non available parts.

For me, our cars are a lot more enjoyable when they can look and run at their potential.

Milton ,
I,m not familiar enough with these cars to know if the smaller engines use the same clutch return spring or not .  BUT it,s funny you should mention that because I have another spring that came with another bell housing I bought except it is quite a bit smaller diameter wire .
I don,t know if someone found a similar spring or another style car used the same spring but it,s exactly the same configuration .
