GT6 M Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 What year is it !!!if it swing spring, then ..no.. as they are different, , you can use it, but it is tooooo soft, and will lower your ride hightbut I think you got rotos on !!!, so, Vit, is a lot stiffer, as it has more leafs, cos of more passengers to carry, could take some leaves oot though, to end up with the same as the GTBut what year !!regards Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6 M Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Mr Dave Bond OO7, you got a few options,1, tried canlys, totally triumph, Moss, ect !!2, get your old spring re tempered3, put on a late gt 6 swing spring, [ not a spitty one, diffrent ]4, put another leaf, inbetween the bottom 2 leafs, on the swing spring, to make it ..very little.. swing, or non at all, will end up really taught , this one will,.5, get a vit spring and take some leafs oot, need to test to get the hight right ,and the spring rate, best compare to your own, if you got one still!!Wots up with your own spring !!Regards marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensH Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Bought one from jamespaddock half a year ago - ask if he has stock. Or do as Marcus above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimboyfat Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Its part number 308499 if it helps (it will certainly help your preferred supplier to correctly identify it). It's unique to the rotoflex GT6 and not interchangeable with any other from the range. Expect to pay just over 100 notes for it including the VAT.

GT6 M Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Charlie, like this, , simple really, yip, on a roto, as well, this idea really has stiffenend it up alot,not the best pic, but yoou can see the leaf, [the thin one, of a spitty [ inbetween the two thick ones, which are standard gt, as i said before the spitty one, is diff from the gt one, the bottom leaves are thinner, but the top ones are the same, dont no aboot the spring rate thoughregards marcus[img]http://i545.photobucket.com/albums/hh369/marcusaurailius/extraleafinrearspring2ndonup.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
