Listers,

Your patience for another question.

I bought 2 new rear leaf springs and links on my "parts trip".  I
knew they were for a post CT23883 car but I bought then anyway.
If they don't fit  my CT16xxx car, I will sell them.... if they
do I'll use them.  The design seems like a better idea....  to
add a little travel and less harshness to the rear suspension.

The springs are PN 209964 which is the "deep dish" style that
uses a distance piece under the axle.  Does anyone know why
Triumph made this design change?  They came with new links... can
these be installed on my 1962 car... and would it be an
improvement to the 1962 design.

Piggott says there was a "minor chassis change" to accommodate
this spring design. I assume he means a frame bracket.  Just
don't know. The guy who bought them was going to used them on a
CT15xxx frame.
