2004 is a Red  Shocker,Yours look like 2003 but spring still fits Try Beta UK or Try Richard Allen trials spares 01933 314145
or
07917 406313  in uk

Try an email to Richard Allen (contact details at www.allensusedtrialsspares.co.uk) as he's breaking early Rev 3s and a secondhand spring could be worth considering as a cheap way out of your problem.

Thanks guys for the contact. on polish fb trial profile guys told me the same thing. None of them ever broke the spring. They say that shouldn't happen. But it did!  ?

You could try Faulkner springs, let them know the length, diameter and poundage and Bob's your Uncle they'll make one for you, simples as they say.

Much better than a used and abused version :)

 

Not surprised this happened.  One of the concerns of having a shock and spring exposed is the spring taking a hit to a rock causing a point loading scenario.

That can cause a small fracture and it will propagate and fracture the spring resulting a complete break of the spring.

If the spring was given to a metalurgist he could quite quickly determine the cause of the failure.

Really ? So why don't twin shocks break springs regularly ?

Any suggestions where I should start looking for "the point loading scenario" that caused my car coil spring to break ?

Hey b182,

I have found replacement progressive spring here in this shop trialstribulations.net just use search box on their website for: beta rev3 shock spring

Also there is used full rear shock with spring on ebay for twice the price. search for: beta rev3 shock.
