Does anybody have any sugestions as to where i might find a replacement
leaf spring for an old box trailer?

or perhaps a site that lists all leaf spring measurements so that i can
see if they match some sort of car?

I have been offered a free trailer but when went to pick it up found that
a spring is broken. Am trying to see if it is feasable to repair it or if
it would be cheaper to either buy a different second hand one or replace
the leaves with the indespension type units which i can easily buy.

I am looking for a spring 1.5 inches wide, 18 inches from bolt centre to
centre with a radius in the centre or around 6 inches

A good starting place would be your local scrap yard (cars). Plenty of
cars / light commercials use leaf springs. Take the old one with you as a
pattern.

If you can't find a matching spring consider a complete rear suspension
unit as some of them (Peugeot / Citroen etc.) are only fixed by four bolts.
