Subject: Re: Need M45 Leaf Spring Specs
Also :-
My M45 was very original and untouched mechanically and also had the zinc "interleaves". I had thought about replacing them with plastic (as used on MGs and Morgans I think) but in the end I left them out !
On some Lagonda springs there were also holes (about 3/4 inch) in the end of each leaf and there were brass/bronze "pads" inserted. The idea was that the pads would wear instead of the metal spring but of course they were never renewed so the metal spring just wore eventually anyway...
