[Healeys] Springs

[John Rowe]

Austin Healey springs are a standard item for a spring maker in Melbourne. 
He supplies the Australian AH parts houses. They can make the springs for 
all AH models. From memory my springs were $70 each.

If anyone would like the contact details I can dig it out.


cheers from west oz
