I have a  Mk2 Spit which I am restoring. My friend races Triumphs and has
instructed  me to do the following to my non rotoflex rear transverse spring 
to
make  the car perform better on the bends:
Remove leaf 3
Turn leaf 4 over so  it is working against the others

Has anyone heard of this  before?

Yes, I have. I don't know just how effective it is, but I suppose it  
effectively "dearches" the spring if nothing else.

Triumph Herald engine with   wings.
