GeeBee1:

Thanks for IMHO translation. Contacted Moss Motors...the 1/4 elliptical leaf springs they offer have ten leaves (leafs?), instead of the stock 15. Do you think this is a problem.

Can't recall if I mentioned that I found the receipt for replacement of the leaf springs in 1989......so they are 20 years old.

Since you're helping to enlighten me with translations: I have to ask.......what's the intent of the image of "Two fat ladies window shopping for a mantelpiece." As a retired English Prof, I've spent too much time trying to decipher that puzzle.

Sincerely appreciate your insight on BEye.

Steve & Jay:

Thanks for response regarding rear shocks. Intend to check them out this weekend and will probably being following up with Peter.

I have the ten leaf Moss springs from about 6 years ago they ride nice enough but the curve in them tend to put the car in a 70's Muscle car stance so some spacers's were added to level out the car dropped it about an 1" at the top of the rer tire looks much better. rides fine.

Chis:

thanks. Your solution may be what I need to do. Having lived through 70's and even 60's muscle car eras, I don't want my BE to "raked" like we used to do.

New Moss springs, need to have at least 2 leaves removed IMHO

Good advice on disconnecting the shock link.

Use plently of lubricant before disassembly any of it and let it sit for a couple of days.

Two fat ladies is from a song by squeeze, pulling muscles from a shell.

Sharp looking dog.......makes sense to remove two of the 10 springs from Moss.

Thanks for origin of 2 fat ladies.
