[DML] Torsion Bars

Torsion Bars Drivers Side (Left Hand Drive Cars) 

Re current supply, Are these available and if so at what cost?

If not has anyone looked at making then again on the UK or USA. 

I understand the Torsion bars were made out of Stainless Steel and 
lowered into Liquid Nitrogen where they were twisted through 14 full 
Revolutions. Apparently at this temperature the molecular structure 
of the steel becomes more like a crystalline structure, as they are 
twisted the Bars increase in length & gain their Spring Properties.

Can anyone confirm this? In particular were they lowered in to the 
liquid to be twisted OR were they twisted first, then put into the 
Liquid nitrogen.

Also were the Torsion Bars machined or were they cast out of 
Stainless Steel.

Any information welcomed 


Thanks 


Kevin
