Default isky springs
where can i get isky double valve springs from? and do i need different top retainers? i see burton stock the springs, but their prices are normally a bit OTT, so can anyone reccomend anywhere cheaper?

mountunes prices - ouch!

set of 8 double springs = £84.25 +vat

spring retainers each = 11.50 +vat

spring seats = 12.21 +vat each

thats £643.74 before machining the head!

ouch ouch ouch!

Does it have to be Iskys? As Kent do some VS34s I think - and probably a damn site less.

Try any Kent stockist or Cylinder Head Developments - place where I got mine from.
