So, whatever happened to the new springs for the Thermoflow restorations?? Was the thread moved to another topic?
I would happily buy a new set if available.

Cannon Racecraft should be able to make them.  Chroming springs safely might be an issue.  It would not surprise me if the original springs are only nickel plated?  (Chrome is actually clear, the nickel plate is what gives it the silver color).

They also have some pretty good "chrome" powdercoats now.

Thanks for the link to Cannon Racecraft. They told me the same thing they quoted MACE6772. 180. ea raw spring steel. Their "chrome" powdercoating is a bit sketchy. MarkT you are spot on the OG plating being nickel. I found someone here in Ohio that will re-finish my nicest set of springs with electolytic nickel plating. 
The issue of concern is hydrogen embrittlement. After plating they need to be baked for a bit to address that.
