Valve springs
 
I know it's a long shot but just wondering if anyone has the W shaped slide valve springs for a Fowler available? Or any info on type of spring steel needed etc please?

So it cannot have made much difference then !

I’d be interested in a spring if some are being made.

froudy70 26th April 2022 06:41 AM

Are these being made?

weidner 26th April 2022 08:49 AM

Did anyone get any valve springs made? If so please could they supply details?

Are the springs the same for all sizes of engine?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

froudy70 18th February 2024 06:30 PM

I didn’t in the end, but I do need 1. Also a fowler safety valve spring?

weidner 18th February 2024 07:40 PM

Tested Spring Co made me a batch of safety springs once . The last of these were stolen from me by a previous TT member many years ago ; yes it still riles me . They can no doubt reproduce , different weights for single and compound . They may have particulars , ref my order , many years ago . Otherwise a drawing is available ex MERL .
The slide valve spring is only there to stop the thing flapping around , I doubt that it much affects performance .

I had a safety valve spring done recently pm me if you like I can pass on my order/inv number.
I will need to get some of the valve springs for my DN1 if someone has a drawing?

Tested spring has made me springs without a problem in the past. Made from the details of a works drawing
