I am trying to order parts for a 1953 series 1.

I have quotes from craddocks and Dunsfold but they appear to differ!!

Front leaf springs from Craddocks will cost me 76 pound each if they are 'narrow' or just 28 pound each if they are normal. How do i tell the difference? I can see on thear website that the 'narrow' ones are for 1948-51 models..have i been misquoted?

Rear leaf springs. 1948-1953 are 110 pounds each!!
But only 36 pound each if SWB 1954-84. Are these for a 88' SWB and therefore dont fit a series 1 80'? If so why are they advertised under their series 1 parts list? Confused!!

Anybody got any ideas or advice on how i can do this within a budget? 220 pound for rear springs is a lot! Anyone got a good used set for sale?

And neither site can help me with bulkhead outriggers..can anyone out there?

Thanks, Mark (in denmark and itching to get started on this project)

Measure the width of you springs (no need to be too accurate, there are only 2 widths. If your front and rear are the same size you will have to work out which you've got (Ask and I'll do more checking).
I would expect you to have wide on the front (in which case any front spring from 51 to 84 (ish) will fit with varying degrees of stifness. Unless you have a N/S engine you might as well stick with the correct ones. )
You probably have narrow at the rear, so you choice is limited.
The springs listed as SWB 1854-84 are just that, as Series Ones were made until 1959, they fit Series Ones, so that why they are listed in the Sere is One section.

This months LROI has an article about replacing Series I leaf springs and the troubles they had getting the correct ones. At end of day they removed one or two leaves from a Series III set and fitted them. Worth a thought if funds are tight.
