[Healeys] Springs again (not Healey, but English)

[Charlie Baldwin]

Russ,
I think I heard somewhere that they (the marketplace) is supplying MGB 
GT rear springs for all MGBs.
Perhaps that isn't universal.  Maybe if you check part numbers for each, 
you will find out.  Of course the GT is heavier in the rear because of 
the top and hatch.
