Thank you for the information concerning the Humber Snipe springs, however I should be very grateful to have the following further information concerning the rear springs. (1) Maximum bump deflection. (2) Total axle movement. (3) Thickness of main plate. (4) Number of plates. I am making a table of various springs and would rather like to include the Humber.
