Further to the discussion (I don't know if anyone else got this already)
about installing the leaf springs on the MGA. Soundsa like you've bolted
& tightened the bolts at both ends. DON'T. Loosely fit either the front
or rear bolt 1st then install other end loosely. Do not tighten until
you've finished your resto.What happens is the bushings become
torqued-up (twisted) to their full limit when the car is at normal ride
height (ie. when you're done) The bushings may last a year, but probably
not. The bushings should be "normal" when the car is at rest "wet".
just my .02 Cheers Peter
