<html><body>Richard-section L/9 in 100 workshop manual describes the springs and their differences. There were three types- A,B & C with the C being used on the later cars up to BJ7-8. They go from neg camber to pos and back to neg, but the double loop eye is the most important feature.<div><br></div><div>FYI, I had springs rebuilt at the shop in Portland, but be aware that the original thickness (.055, I believe) shackle is no longer available and they now use .066. This stack may be too strong for Healeys. and changes the stiffness rate and ride height. I kept my original main leaf, and had them rebuild the balance with the thicker, so it still fit the clamps and has a good ride height.</div><div><br></div><div>These old cars had materials that just don't exist today, so you have to be careful what you replace parts with...have seen many issues with "exact replacement" items and Moss is at the top of the list! </div><div><br></div><div>Remember, Austin Design Department were real penny pinchers and specified the minimum whenever they could.

<div dir="ltr">What is the difference in rear springs between
BN1/BN2 and the later cars. Moss wants $30 more per
spring for the later springs. That's $149 vs $119.
Different length? Different camber?<br></div>
