Default Samba Manifold Spring

Does anyone know the part number or even better where I can get a Samba spring from??

Or a spring from somewhere that does the same job?

I have searched on here and also google but cant find anything

Cheers

Stu

At a guess I'd say yours had stretched?

If that's what it is, and it's certainly what happened to 2 of mine, I put a bolt with a nut on the end through the middle of the spring of tightened it up, now the pipe can't pop off the manifold in the same annoying way!

I havent got one on mine.

It only falls off on a bad crash (like today )

Be interested if you do manage to find a suitable replacement though as I havent even got one to try and match up.

Ouch!

I know King Cobra aren't open again until Saturday.......... maybe a trip to your local motor factors? Sure there'll be a brake spring off something that'll do?
