[Healeys] BN1 rear spring question - 8 leaf type.

[Rich C]

Hi Paul,

1. The tapered (thin) end of the wedge goes to the rear of the car according 
to the workshop manual in the Rear Axle chapter under "Removal".

2. These wedge plates are listed under part number SUR150 packing piece 
available from Autofarm. They have a web site.

Now, can you please send me all the particulars of 153829 and it's current 
owner so I can enter the data into the Hundred Registry?

many thanks,

Rich Chrysler
