Hi i recently had a broken 5 leaf spring snapped on my Tandem pop top. . I fortunately could purchase a new one. I fitted it with new U bolts and new nylock knuts. Do I need to get a engineer check compliance certificate ?? I am Victorian Based. half on
Welcome to GN's Haunted Usually a spring change over is pretty well free from problems - As I don't know your mechanical capabilities it may pay to have your alignment re-checked by a professional just to be on safe side (Tyres are expensive). No need to have a compliance check, only requirement is to have it "safe".

I would re check the U bolt nuts after the next van use after they have " bedded in " It may be prudent to check all the U bolts on the other springs as well... just for peace of mind.
I have a mate whom carries a spare spring and U bolts. I have never had any problems so don't carry the extra weight but I do check the gear regularly.
