  1. Hi - Here are photos of the flipped over leaf in previous post
  2. Hi --- My set up Vitesse 2L Mk 1    Spax adjustables all round  set up reasonably stiff  ( Cant remember actual settings )  175/70 x 13 on 5.5J wheels  Standard rear spring from Canley's.   Uprated and lower front springs from TSSC  All fitted years ago and don't see no reason to change. Car copes well with twisted bits here in Devon. Power up to a corner, quick ease off the power with a dip of the brakes if necessary whilst in a straight line  and power back on. Uprated front stops the car pitching forward  which  removes a certain amount of undesired weight transfer. Also always carry a heavy tool bag or something in the boot. Had a flipped over 2nd or 3rd leaf on a previously fitted spring, certainly was a good trick, but proved a bit too low if carry passengers  or towing. .... I still have that spring somewhere?   Friends have noted how well the car handles and rides.  Driving a Triumph is so rewarding as the interest is always in the next bend  and how you approach it. You don't have to be a maniac, that's when your asking for trouble, like in any car old or new. Trust this helps. A Merry Christmas to you all.
  3. Hi guys -- Many thanks for the replies. I will be retaining original fixed spring so I might look into Nick's suggestion of changing over the housing. Kind regards.
  4. Hi = Occasionally 3.63 diffs turn up on ebay but in the main they are 4 stud from 1500 Spitfire. My question is there any likely problems or concerns in use fitting a 4 std to a Vitesse which is normally 6 stud diff attachment. Kind regards
