Who can heat treat this?

[Bill DeShivs]

I have to make a leaf spring for an early 1950s display auto. Making the spring is not a problem, but I am unable to heat treat anything this large. It's 1/4" 1075, 14 inches long, and 1" wide at the widest point.
Who is the best heat treater for carbon steel?
Thanks!

Peter's would be my very first choice.

Peter's does all my heat treating, and Brad is an awesome guy to deal with. Give him the specs you want, and he'll make it happen.

I thought Peter's only did air hardening steels? I would email Jeff Mutz at Tru-Grit or Darrin Sanders, both in CA, I believe.

Send me an email Bill.

 

[Bill DeShivs]

Email sent!

If for some reason Darrin cannot do it I know a gentleman who specializes in leaf springs. He re-springs trucks all the time. I could give him a call. But Darrin is a great choice. Just another option.

Thanks! Darrin and I have worked it out.

I knew Darrin heat treated knives, and wanted to recommend him but wasn't sure about a car spring etc. Darrin is an awesome guy!

Clarification: Auto- automatic knife. The leaf spring is the kickspring for the blade.
