Do they sell the rubber cushions that mount on the tops of the springs? These are what I'm enquiring about, and they cost about £36 + 17.5% VAT (~$80) each here.
I've asked a Triumph vendor about the size of ones for a TR6 and now have the information that those are too small.
I've got a full set of the Superpro bushings to use, and I intend to get all new hardware.
I may pass on the powder-coating and paint it all instead. That would save a couple of weeks in waiting for the parts to be done, and £100-200.
I may also re-use the more expensive components from the existing car rather than rebuild it all- thinking particularly about the brakes/disks and hubs/bearings - they're in pretty good shape as far as can be told. Doing that would save about £200.
That would leave a little more money for the engine. And maybe some to keep the wife sweet, too....
I had the leaf springs for my Big Healey done and think that local company can re-work the J-H front and rear springs to yield a higher rate, and lower the rear ones too.
