P.S. There is a Herald Spring that I believe was made for an estate wagon
that is much stiffer than the normal spring that is also a possibility.  But
again it is not "Swing-Spring"

Joe, you're thinking of the spring for the Herald Courier van. It's very, very stiff (I can probably find rates in my books at home), and it has less of an arch in "static" condition than do most other Herald/Vitesse/Spitfire/GT6 springs. It might almost be overkill for a GT6, but I think the concept actually was not unlike what the factory used for the various "Works" Spitfires.

A vendor in the UK had commissioned a new run of the Courier spring last year, but I believe he's sold out at the moment.
