I had the leaf springs in my '73 B-GT re-arched. For about $150 total
they do all the work. The results are great...
I bought new leaf springs for my 73 GT for about $60/ea, and got lucky with
a Roadster Factory sale last year - getting new leaf springs for the 73
conv for $49.95/ea! If the shop removed/replaced the springs for Charles,
that sounds like a good deal... but some spring shops have told me that
re-arching does not permanently cure the MG sag - the process is more
intended for heavy truck springs containing many more leaves.
' Hope Charles and others who have gone the re-arching route will keep us
informed of their long-term experience. If it works well, a local shop
will re-arch mine for less than $20/ea (if I recall correctly, and it may
be more by now) if I bring them in - a significant savings over new ones!
