Has anyone got any 260lb ( +-10) 45mm id springs that will fit the 1200 struts?

Do you mean a sleeve kit and springs?
45mm ID is surely not the right measurement.
My orangatang 510 here.

Standard coil over springs are 65 I'd but 60 is available. I think I have some 275s Dave. I'll try to remember to look this weekend if I've got them you're welcome to borrow them for testing

I'm still happy to lend you the 250lb/in springs in my car too if you need them. They are 65mm or 2.5" ID which is a common size. I also have 175lb springs. Both sets 250mm or 10" free height.
I have bought 57mm or 2.25"ID springs for my sunny and have done the bilstein mod I was telling you about. Hope to have it all together shortly.

Hi Morgan,
Thanks for the kind offer, much appreciated. I'm going to have a chat with Bellamy and East ( springmakers ) down here and try to sort out some rates and what needs to be done to the rear if I go up in the front.
I'll let you know.
Cheers
Dave
