Subject: Results from Coil Spring Posts
=20
Thanks to the many individuals who helped with my questions concerning =
coil
springs for the Healey.=20
Below are listed actual measurements of freestanding coil length taken =
by
owners, except for the BN1-4 coil, which was a recollection of one =
owner.
BN1 to BN4 - 14=94-15=94 (freestanding coil length)
BN6 - 12=94
BT7 - 11 13/16=94
BJ8 - 10 1/8=94
=20
Coil thickness through BT7 was =BD=94 and for the BJ8 was 5/8=94.=20
So the Healey front coil has become shorter and firmer as it has been
upgraded through the years.=20
More important, a number of owners reported fitting the BJ8 coil to =
earlier
Healeys without problem and said ride height was unchanged or about the
same.
I started this thread because Moss recommended the early spring for my =
BT7
but logically it made more sense to me to install the spring specified =
at
the end of the development cycle (BJ8) than at the beginning (BN1). I am
going to buy the BJ8 spring because it will reduce body roll in =
cornering,
handle a little better, and if it has a slightly firmer ride as one =
owner
reported, I can easily tolerate that.=20
Thanks again,

I have several ft coil springs that I'd like to identify. I recall that
there were 4 variations from the 100 to the BJ8. I believe I have the
measurements for the 100, but was wondering if anyone had the specs for =
the
