Morris Minor Owners Club

I may require some leaf springs for my car and from the The Morris Minor catalogue it states that

7-leaf spring [are used for] early saloons and travellers

and so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how early is an early saloon?

Very early - but it was not the same 7 leaf as was fitted later to the Traveller. The early 7 leaf had thinner leaves - I doubt you will get them anywhere now. It does appear (from your next post) that the car has been fitted with heavy duty LCV springs - possibly with one leaf removed since they are originally 8 leaf springs.....

Thanks for that.

The saloons changed from the end of 1958 to 5 leaf, i think.

Okay thank you for that information, it gives me a starting point for looking into it further.
