[Healeys] Spring - BJ8 Gearbox

[Bob Spidell]

Jean,

I still have my original, and it's a bit of a pain to install--you need 
three hands--but nothing like this.  Can only suggest you may have to 
grind the outer part of the 'last ring' to make it fit; doubt that would 
compromise performance or strength very much.

Bob
