[Healeys] Rear Springs on BJ7

[David Porter]

Guys.. you all know that if you start changing the number of leaves or the
thickness then you have to compensate in the opposite direction with the
shocks.. just a reminder that lever shocks are more difficult to adjust than
tube shocks. Peter Caldwell's trick shocks notwithstanding.

Companies that rebuild springs are hard to find. The one that did 
mine 10 years ago went out of business. In addition, the spring steel 
that they most likely stock is thicker than the original steel and 
will make the clamps hard to fit or make the spring need additional 
work to get it to fit if you are replacing the main leaf.
