Where can I buy tension springs?

Basically I want to use tension springs on the slip joints on my headers (did some research and people advise using springs on double slips)

Try a motorbike shop - they commonly use springs on their exhaust systems.

Cheers, looked on TM, nothing at the moment.

Computer shops were useless.

Damn multi-formats- Slimport, micro USB, MHL - all look the same but are incompatible.

Grrrrrr

Incredibly rooted, on my V7 the hub was still tight with the center nut off and the bearing on there was pretty shagged.

same here the only reason I knew my mine was buggered was from the noise the wheel made when going round corners

Okay, more of a price based question; how much are BH fuel pump assemblies usually worth? Stupid plastic, anyway a while back when I was first getting my car going, the plastic nozzle for the (I think is the breather, maybe return of sorts third hose, with simple bulldog style hose clamp) on my fuel pump assembly broke, so we repaired it with knead it; which worked fine, although now the fuel is leaking out and around the knead it and anyway its dangerous, and I need a new one, does anyone know how much they cost? And if you can buy them with just the plastic, no pump or anything?

Cheers.

Would I be better off using 3mm or 4mm ID hose to replace my solenoid box/vacuum lines?

I understand that stock is 3.5mm, but would I be safe to use either of these? Would think using 3mm would be better than 4mm....

Also, recommendations to purchase from?

I\'d use 4mm. Just make sure you save and re-use the Restrictor Pill in hose 2.

Edit: the last length I brought was 4mm Scarles off Trademe.

http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.php/topic/122143-what-size-vacuum-line-is-used-for-the-solenoid-box/

4mm it is then. Off to Redline performance to pick up ~10M at lunchtime.

Replacing line 10 & 23 with 4mm tonight, refurbing solenoid box tomorrow, all vacuum lines at another date.

Is 3.5mm the same diameter for normal vac/boosty hose? I wana replace my hose with silicone black so it\'s sexy

I think it\'s 3.8mm so 3.5 is probably perfect (4mm fine). Transfer all Pills into the new hose, double checking every hose for a Pill.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
