Graham, Thanks but I am going the opposite route to TBM in that I am fitting a Rutherford suspension hoop and adjustable shocks and doing away with the original damper set up.
TBM, thanks for the link to your replacement article it is very informative .
When you say that it the moved the axle back a bit why is this and am I understanding you right that the axle moving back has caused the handbrake rods to catch on the fuel tank.
Did you have to replace the axle U bolts for different ones to suit the reduced dimension of the spring.
The axle locating pegs on the new 4 leaf springs are a few mm further back on 'new' springs. I thing it's because they're a generic 'one size fits all' across the model range.and the newer BTR axle sits a bit further back.
This meant the handbrake roads were catching on the tank, and the compensator was touching. It was really easy on the 4 seater to move the tank back, but another easy option is to trim the axle handbrake bracket by 10mm. As every Morgan is different it might be worth fitting and seeing how much you're affected.
I bought new U bolts (good practice). They;re almost at the end of their thread though - might be tempted to stick a washer in them (once I've trimmed the down - it was a very slow process)
