I might suggest, you research some other interspring materials as Teflon will flow in to long term. Pete Thelander found a sheet material of moly disulfide the had good compressive qualities and was not too expensive for his NE Racing car. Might investigate that.

Pip,

I assume by the dimensions you quote you are wanting to use the Teflon as an
interlayer between spring leaves. Therefore, you want a thin sheet of
Teflon.

I find the many plastics companies in the US have it or can get it. You
might try such companies in your area. I also did a quick search on the
Internet for Teflon sheet in Australia. The most promising one I came up
with is: http://www.dotmar.com.au/index.htm

I hope this helps.

BTW, if you know of a source for spring steel that is 1.25 inches in width
(suitable for making new Triple-M spring leaves), let me know. None of the
spring companies here seem to have anything that narrow.

Cheers,
Lew Palmer

I see various comments about Teflon seals.

This may assist me in my search for sheets of Teflon that I can cut strips
1.25" wide from.

Can any one put me in touch with a supplier of Teflon sheets, please.

Many thanks
