[Healeys] Leaf Springs

[Michael MacLean]

     I am finally getting around to installing the leaf springs for my BN2.  This is the first time I have put a big Healey together and I got my car as a bare shell., so I wanted to make sure I got this right.  Check the photos of the rear left leaf spring at the rear hanger.  I have all the hardware that was listed at Moss, including the two jam nuts for the bolt through the body mount.  The double ended threaded bolt can only go one way with the jam nuts on one end and the big nut and lock washer on the other.  I determined the jam nuts were to take the lateral movement out of the bolt, but leave it loose enough to let the links swing with the movement of the axle.  After looking at it, I could have just flipped the whole links and bolts over exposing the jam nuts to the outside.  Might have been easier that way, but it wasn't bad.    Also look at the third picture.  This is just below and behind the leaf spring.  There is a captive nut behind the sheet metal of the inner wheel well.  You can see it it in the center of the photo.  What is this threaded hole for?Mike MacLean
