I bought a adjustable actuator off some boy racer about a year ago.

His car was scraped before he fitted it, so I had it very cheap *happy*

By adjustable, I mean you can strip it apart and change the spring.

The problem is, I tested the spring that's fitted with my compresser, and it looks like it's fitted with a suspension spring off a train or somthing as it didn't move untill about 1.5 bar of air was fed to it!

I want to run around 10psi so I need a lighter spring.
Anyone know where I can go shoping for one PLEASE!!!!

Oh yeah the actuator is physicaly smaller in size than the metro one (No indication on it who it's manufactured by)

Thanks as always
Dave *happy*

I swapped the arm with the metro one, and it does fit on the T3.

But the spring is way too strong, it doesn't begin to move untill well after I want it to.

The reason I said it was smaller than the Metro one is because the spring size will make a difference. I tried a metro one but it won't fit in it.

If I don't get any joy finding a spring I'll let you know.
