Rear leaf spring work...
 |
| Ready for cleanup and new springdiscs |
The transverse rear leaf spring on Triumph Spitfires can be a source of endless head scratching, pub discussions and general misunderstanding. The rear of a well-travelled Spitfire may be sagging, or the front may seem to be pointing upwards. Most of this can be traced back to the rear transverse leaf spring.
 |
| First I must run these on the lathe. |
 |
| And mount them to the springs. |

| Finally it's time to start on the frame of the car. |
 |
| The engine is removed from the frame for later. |
| Now we will start on the rear differential / leaf and move on to the front suspension. |
