Exhaust Springs
I'm looking for a supplier of stainless steel exhaust springs for my BEC R1 manifold - any recommendations? I have snapped the original set and
now the replacement set and would like to try a new supplier! I think the last set were those produced for scooter exhaust or something similar???
Cheers!

Anything here any good? http://www.racespec.co.uk/rs_shop_final/en-gb/dept_413.html
Perhaps the swivel spring?

Hey thanks, they look ideal. Just not sure what the stated sizes refer to (is the extreme length of spring or just the coiled section) so have sent
them an e-mail to confirm.... Cheers!

Join the club, any springs Ive run end up breaking (some within a single session on track), so Ive given up now and just leave the 4 or 5 on there
that don't seem to break. Ive tried the swivel springs in the above link (or ones very similar) and also ones very similar to the 95p ones, they
all break too 
If you find any then let me know!

Sure, I've ordered a new batch and will let you know how they get on! I've just noticed that one of the 'tags' welded onto the
collector has actually snapped off from the last trackday! I wonder how much a fabricator would charge to stick another one one (stainless)....?

Shouldnt be a lot, beer money Id think.
Im tempted to get rid of the springs between the primaries and the collector and use overlapping tabs which can be bolted instead, as the springs
that hold the primaries to the exhaust port don't seem to break so often, its the ones on the collector that always break.
