While waiting for the bypass diaphragm for the carbs, I decided to install the new front springs.
I got the left side out and I have a bit of a surprise. The spring that was installed measures right at 10 inches in height. The replacement spring which is suppose to be a stock height is only 9 1/4 inches tall.
What is the stock height for a 1974 TR6?
I ordered the matching set for the front to be the same as the rears. When I replaced the rears the new springs were taller than the old, which makes sense.
I was surprised to see the old fronts taller than the new ones.
I either have a non stock set installed by the DPO or I was sent the wrong ones when I ordered them. Perhaps they sent me ones that lower the car an inch.
Anyway if someone knows the stock height, I will be able to know the answer before Monday, when I can call my parts source.
Thanks
