Bob

Thanks for all the advice. I will hopefully get on with it once again in the evenings this week. Cheers Bob

Chris thanks. That does sound like a good approach. You said that you attached the sections of the manual, but I do not see these. How do I get to the files please? Thanks Bob

Thanks, I did know about the spring bender. My problem is that I cannot get the spring in to bolt it to the differential.

Hi, I need some help please. After a previous thread to ask questions as to why my Vitesse sat so low at the back I now have a new spring from Rimmer Bros. I have the old spring out, it had leaves taken out. I am trying to get the new one in. I am struggling for space. I enclosed some photos. All I can think to do is undo the half shafts neat the differential in the hope that this will allow the hub to drop a bit more, presently this cannot go lower as the half shafts in resting on the chassis. Any tips on what will be the path of least resistance and require me to take a little apart as possible. Many thanks Bob

Thanks for all the posts and the info. Looks like I do have a GT6 spring fitted after a second look. I want to get on the road for a bit and see how the car feels, now that the weather is hopefully going to improve. It also has adjustable shocks, which when I brought it were set quite stiff, so I will try some different settings on these. Ian, when you had the leaf(leaves) manufactured can I ask how you specified the requirements and where did you add the leaf? Thanks Bob

Gary Thank you. You mention a spring lifter. I had seen threads on this previously .Some said you could get from the shop, but I do not see this. Any ideas as how I can find this?

Thank you for the responses. I will count the leaves tonight. I am pretty certain that there are seven, so I assume that leaves have been taken out. This leads on to the best approach for remediation, as I would like her a little higher. Is a new spring required? as I guess that there is no place to buy spare leaves, if I identify the leaves that are missing. Thanks again Bob

Hi, I am a recent new owner of a Triumph Vitesse MkII and then subsequently a new member to the TSSC - already loving it. Anyway to my issue. I knew that when I bought the car that the rear end was low/sagged and she has slight negative camber. So I am trying to establish if the spring is in need of replacement. It is a bit tricky getting photos, but I enclose what I have. I have seen info on changing the springs pads, but looking I do not see that my spring has the facility for these - I could be wrong. Also I think the wheels fitted have the wrong offset and sit very snug to the wheel arch as a consequence - would this affect the force on the spring?? I am sure I have not supplied enough information initially for anyone to really help fully, but I can of course provide more when I know what is required. Many thanks Bob
