Thanks for all the express replies to my MGB spring problem. There were
a lot of great ideas sent, and almost instantly. You guys must sit and
monitor the list full time. Do you get in trouble with your significant
other like me? :-)
I called Vicky Brit and they were zero help even though these were
clearly their parts. All they would admit to was these were the
appropriate parts recommended for an early MGB. No hint or admission
that they may have had any customer complaints such as I reported.
Moss on the other hand, was quite helpful, even though they were
apparently from a different supplier and their competition (VB). They
admitted that this is a fairly common complaint on these springs and
have found that they typically settle down after a few months of
driving. Maybe Roland's suggestion that the leaves are stuck together by
the paint may hold some water in this case. We will see, and I will
report back in the future as to how things are going. So, I will put
all your suggestions in abeyance for a while until I see if driving for
a while will fix things. That's more fun anyways.
Thank you all so much for your helpfulness, particularly to some of us
less knowledgeable old farts out here.
