Flat Leaf Spring Stock
By Gary Stevenson

Jody,

I am trying to find some flat spring steel stock:

        (SAE 5160, 1-1/4"X .194 X 15')

to make replacement springs for a barrel organ cart. I have been to all
of the normal auto spring mfg. companys in the St. Louis area and they
have no spring stock the size I need. Two of these shops have offered
to make the springs I need, if I can find them the steel stock.
