MG Midget and Sprite Technical - looking for offset leaf springs

I am having trouble finding some offset semi eliptic leaf springs for my 73 midget. I don't think that winners circle has them any more.

Does anyone know where else I can get some or do you want to sell me some used ones?

thanks,
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca - these would be for a racer, yes? I think your best bet is 1/ put on ad up in the wanted to buy section of prodracing.com, which is a website frequented by many members of the spridget racing community in the US 2/ prepare to fabricate a set - I did this once in the 1970's when I did not have the $$ for a Winner's Circle set - I found a guy who agreed to cut out the leaves from wider than necessary stock, and had a spring shop roll the eyes, bend in the arc and heat treat (the heat treat was done improperly and I had to constant re-arc them)or 3/ use a set of the composite springs, I am going to install a set over the winter (but will hang on to my offset springs in case of need - sorry. Good luck -
