Subject: [Healeys] Leaf springs

I was out for a drive on Sunday when I heard a metallic snap from the rear of the car(BJ8).
Turns out I’ve broken a leaf spring.
I’m looking at replacement sets but I’m concerned that new BJ8 springs will give me too much height at the back…my old springs had a nice ride height without the jacked up look that some BJ8s have.
So…are the earlier springs compatible? Or should I go with the BJ8 springs and consider the lowering kit that AH spares offers?
Thanks
Stephen, BJ8

A good friend had exactly the same thing happen last year with his BJ8.
I happened to have a pair of them, that I bought about 25 years back which,=
 unlike the ones you can get these days, were made in the UK rather than In=
dia.
We started by changing the drivers spring and to our surprise when we lower=
ed the rear to the ground the ride height was absolutely correct. He has do=
ne a couple of long trips fully loaded (the car I mean) and the ride height=
 has remained correct, unlike the recently manufactured  pair that I bought=
 for my BN1 which sagged almost 1" after a few months. For the BN1 I had to=
 resort to making a pair out of the miscellaneous leaves that I had and the=
n eventually adding air springs as in the attached pic to achieve a satisfa=
ctory ride.
Just an FYI.

My BJ8 and I were a hundred miles out from Conclave 2009 in Ontario when I
braked for a stop and the pedal went slowly to the floor.  I discovered the
upper leaf on the right rear spring had broken (bad/rough roads in New
England?)  and trapped the steel brake line against the rear axle and cut
it.  After rolling over and peening the upstream end of the line, I made it
into Kingston on one handbrake and three hydraulics and found that Bob Yule
(Autofarm) had a repair van set up in the parking lot.  What a concept!  His
mechanic made and installed  a new brake line.  I strapped the broken spring
down with two hose clamps spliced  together and made it safely home back to
North Carolina.  I ordered a new set of springs from Autofarm that I believe
came from Ahead4Healeys in the UK.  So far, so good with the springs after
30,000 miles.

Springs r easy to replace. I would get new set. Observe height. If too high, take smallest (lowest) spring off  and check height. If ?? Still too high…can’t imagine…purchase $70? Kit from AHS
