[Healeys] Adjustable Side Tie Rods

[warthodson at aol.com]

The springs were originally marked in this fashion as a way to quickly identify the spring. The BJ7 & BJ8 front springs had parallel red & white stripes, brush applied. 
No, the rods were made by a machine shop & no they won't make more!

Curious ... Why the red and white paint marks on the spring?



Wonder if those rods came from an A70?

Yes, I did & attached is a photo of one side. The other side is similar. Just to be clear, these are not necessary to properly align the front suspension, unless you consider the ability to "clock" the steering wheel spokes as part of the alignment. And no, I do not have a source for these.

Listers,



Anyone ever seen any adjustable side tie rods for front suspensions, so you can do an actual alignment?  Anyone ever had any fabricated?



TIA,

Bob
