Marius, when you say "ome" do you mean OME as in Old Man Emu? ... or OEM as in Original Equipment of Manufacturer?

I merely ask because this would be the first time ever that I hear of OME springs sagging to the point where "die voor vere het gaan le" .... (I had OME that were worked hard and only settled by about 10 to 15mm over a 15 year period).

Either way, it's a waste of time and money to have them "re-tensioned" .... doesn't work unless you follow the process and temperatures of the manufacturer to the letter. A better alternative would be to split the packs without mixing any components between left and right packs and to beat the individuals blades back into shape on a sand bed with a heavy hammer (or with a hydraulic press if you have access to one). This topic has been covered a few times .... do a search.
