Small spring for soft top
« on: July 16, 2013, 13:12:47 »
Finally took off my soft top to have a welding shop fix the left side anchor that had broken off.  Easy job.  I bought a new large spring but need two small springs.  In searching previous posts it looks like they are available through the dealer.  Does anyone have the part numbers or where to get these?

Thanks

I recently saw a post where they bought all 4 springs.  I thought that was starange because I could nver find the little ones.  They aren't blown out in the top frame drawings.  SLS possibly http://www.sls-hh-shop.de/  I was lucky, a brother in-law of a neighbor from Singlefingen brought me a used one.  The post had something to do with the top frame.

I believe Gernold (http://www.sltechw113.com/) stocks them. Give him a call.
