Re: wanted a pair of leaf springs
I do have 3 leaf springs, some better than others but based in West London rather than Wales so not sure you'd get them...?

Re: wanted a pair of leaf springs
You can buy these new still, your local car spares shop will be able to order them. Kilen make them, I have had front coil springs from them and the ride height was spot on as standard. So I'd happily buy their multi leaf springs.

Re: wanted a pair of leaf springs
Bondy, out of interest, do you go to the classic car show at Cardiff stadium?

Re: wanted a pair of leaf springs
I didn't think you did as mine was the only mk3 there this year. There were a few other stunning Capris though.
Thanks for the heads up about the shows. There are some on your list that I did not know about, I'll try and check some out.
