Guys, It seems a failure of the 308/328 door pocket springs is quite common and as our cars are ageing, there does not seem to be any old stock to be found. (Made from "unobtainium") I am considering having some custom made and would just like to poll my fellow 308/328/modial owners to see if they would be interested in aquiring some. Your feedback is welcome.
Or just buy some that are close: http://www.mcmaster.com/#torsion-springs/=6j5cvp I picked some up from Ricambi about a year ago. I still haven't put them on though.
I have them being re-manufactured with great assistance of another Fchatter (Furmano) who brought the project to me. I suspect we'll have them available in the next 45 days. We'll have them at Ricambi shortly and they'll be sold in LH/RH matching sets so you'll have equally 'springy' door pockets on both sides of the car. I look forward to having some obscure Italian spring manufacturer threaten me legally for remaking their $0.03 piece of crap that they abandoned years ago anyway
Fantastic ! - Thank you very much. Myself, and I'm sure many other owners, appreciate you undertaking this task.
And while on the subject of Italian crap, how about that thermocouple ECU? I'm putting mine in the x-ray inspection machine tomorrow at the local university and an electronics wiz friend of mine is going to help me see if I can rev-eng this thing.
