Re: [TR] leaf springs

Andrew,

I am using the original 58 springs on my 58 and the original 63 springs 
on the 63. Cars ride fine for the miles and type of driving I do. I 
always thought that was as long as there are no cracks etc. they should 
be fine.

Maybe a bit of grease between the leaves before assembly.
