Re: Leaf spring renovation

The Leaf Springs appear OK, but I,d like to replace the rubber bushes, and whatever else appears to been worn or rusty. Ive Emailed both EMS and Bull Motif asking the same question. They`ve both read the Emails , but as yet have not replied Ken[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1275419706_10...

Leaf spring renovation

Is there a renovation kit that I could purchase, to service the rear leaf springs of my 1958 MM Saloon? (Bushes,pins ect)
Ive looked at the sketches in the Haynes manual until my eyes go blurred
Thanks Ken :(

Sorry for the rather late thank you folks but thanks :lol: . Ive since found out since, that for a £5.00 fee, the DVLA will supply a list of past owners names and addresses to the current registered owner. As my Moggie is a 1958 model, I await with baited breath the Low-Loader from Swansea

History

Would any member have any advice on how to set about obtaining some history of my recently aquired Moggie. It,s a 1958 1000 4 door saloon with the registration number 508XUF.
