Hey guys, got a bit of a problem over here in good ole New Zealand.Been having a hell of a job getting spring wire for my suspension on my tiger.Gone to a few junkyards and bed makers to get offcuts but you would have thought i was asking for their first childs virtue instead of junk.I got given some compression springs from a trucks brake pots and was wondering if anyone has an idea how to straighten this out a bit.I want to wind up some torsion springs.Iknow i could always buy the stuff but at $30nz a meter im too tight for that.
