Hi all, things have been rather quite lately, so here are a few questions. As some of you know, I am restoring a P type. this car was partially "done up" 20 years ago. 1. The pins for the front of th

Thanks for forwarding Andrew's spring questions. I have similar ones. I'm missing the largest/longest leaf from one of my fronts. Does anyone know a source of a single leaf or do you have to replace

I would take the main leaf you have to your local friendly spring shop and have them make you a new leaf, using the old one as a pattern. Kansas must have as many cart sprung contraptions as Colorad

I just checked my hanger pins and found that there is a thick (1/4") washer outboard of the spring, but under the nut. This is confirmed by a check of the parts list. (MG part number 809) on page 11

I would suggest that the front leaf spring is too thin to bush. Get new main leaves fabricated. You would have to shop around to find the narrow steel. As for the rear, probably the eye of the sprin

They need to be a nice snug fit or you will wear out a nice new pair of pins quickly. I really like all 4 springs to be new as it really makes for a nice firm ride. However, if you like the original

I just received the following message from Hiro Nishio: - Uuuuum, I have never seen such an unique shape washer. My Airline did not - have such one, but ordinary one. Your guess might be correct, but

Before I started removing leaves I would check the deflection against the numbers in Blower. Also, I would loosen the shocks and make sure they're not too tight. If the ride is still too hard I'd ha

Thirty years ago I bought new front springs for my TC. The front eyes were very poorly made and too large so the pins flopped around. I installed a thin roll of teflon inside the eye and this took up

For those of us embarking on that journey, perhaps you could share some details: 1) What thickness of Teflon was used in the eye? 2) What thickness of Teflon was used (or should be used) between the

Checking out??? Na, I hope not, and I hope for a lot more than an additional 39,000 miles in the TC, maybe even a few in the J2 and TA Tickford. But the 30 years will put me to 93 and the odds are go

thanks all who helped with the spring question. I have had all the eyes ground out and bronze bushes inserted. That should fix it! Next question. the outer trunnions often have a hole drilled to let

What I do now is fill the trunnion housings with grease using a modern zerk & gun (and yes, use bushings with holes) prior to attatching the oil lines. Todays grease does not turn solid and doesn't
