Hi Craig,
An update on the ''69 MGB front spring saga. I found some used '75
springs, which are ID'd by orange paint marks and are ~10 1/4" long.
Put them in my B and the ride height was ~15" & 15 1/4". Too high! The
'75s are not only longer but presumably stiffer. Put my original
springs back in, height now ~13 1/2". This is ~1/4" higher than before
the suspension rebuild. Maybe all those new bushings make a diff. The
old springs are ID'd by blue paint. The "stock" 264-375 springs sold by
Moss are ID'd by an orange and a blue dot. Wrong springs? Too soft
springs? Anyway, Moss say I can return them.
There is a spacer available from Moss UK thru the CA w'hse, 264-325,
$12.95 ea., that raises the height approximately 3/16". The article I
found them in sez you can use a max of two a side. They go above the
springs. Just FYI.
Heading for Happy Camp, CA tomorrow or the day after. It's near
Yreka. Any listers up that way?
Safety Fast,
CR
