My rowing machine is probably more than 10yrs old. It's a BodySculpture (or something?) 3160. The supplier was unable to offer any spares in view of its antiquity.
So I took a chance on this spare spring.
I had to modify the spring where it fits into the inner drum, but other than that, fitting the new spring into the drum was fairly straightforward. The worst part was cleaning away all the molybdenum disulphide grease from the original spring & drum
So it's given, hopefully, a new lease of life.
Really pleased to find Spring available for Rowing Machine.
Arrived promptly.
Very easy to fit.

Probably the most surprising and positive element of this purchase was that a spare / replacement part was even available. Most things today seem to be just throwaway products - not repairable. I was amazed to see there was the possibility to repair!
The ordering, price and payment method, and delivery were all easily accomplished.
The installation was straightforward, but installing the actual coil was a little hairaising - dread of it coming uncoiled and the big shuddering snap when I finally removed the holding band were nervewracking (when taking the old coil out, it sprang out and then violently uncoiled all over the place).
Next I needed to figure out that the rowing strap had to be under quite a bit of tension - and had to figure out how to do that - which is quite easy and obvious ONCE you know about it! I suppose people with experience would have known all about that.
Anyway, I have it reassembled and ready for rowing. The installation took several hours (including a coffee break). If I had to do it again, it wouldn't take that long.
Very happy with everything.
I can't believe how wonderful the customer service is from this company. They go above and beyond and larger companies could take note and up their game and do what these guys do.
Keep up the good work
Thanks again
