Looked for one for some time: found this one , needed a new spring for the rear axle


Made one from a key ring : it works

I've seen these with the milk load and box and they aren't cheap even the Atlas repro can be pricey nowadays

Great find Jan Willem, have to look out for one too

It is a simple spring clamped between the axle and the chassis. It works well







I think they are based on the same Citroen , but the scale is very different
