My 1972 Fastback looks as if it's got a few concrete blocks in the boot! I'm not sure if the rear springs are weak or has someone used non standard springs on the front? If you have a level one, can you let me know the measurement from ground to centre of wheel arch front and rear, so that I can establish which end is right. Thanks

Yes the club did have a batch made but that was well over 10 years ago. Have a quick search online and you will hopefully be able to find somewhere fairly local to either refurbish or renew your springs.
Good luck! |

Looks like my rear springs have gone soft.I've got 59cm at front and only 54cm at rear. Many thanks for that
I see from old posts that the club had some springs made a few years ago ( now out of stock). Has anyone know who the supplier was?

OK, measurements as follows;
Front - 60.5 cm
Rear - 59.5 cm
That is taken from the passenger side. Drivers side was approximately 1cm less, presumably that is normal for a vehicle predominantly used by driver only.

I'll get some measurements for you when I can, but it sounds like you need new rear springs. There should be a gap between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch, when the springs weaken the gap disappears!
