Hi all,
as stated above, what is the distance from pin to pin of a mgb leaf spring? I am asking because i want to see if i can install mgb composite leaf springs in my tr4 (yes i am from the other side of the tracks) The 135 lb rate is close to a stock tr4 spring (+7 lbs)so i was considering retro-fitting a set of these?
even if you can take a measurement with your car on the ground would be great.
thanks
Rob
 
I have a used pair from a '66 in the garage, the cl to cl distance is 41.75"

A quick measurement of a spring from a 73 shows 42 1/2" as the crow flies, center to center. This is out of the car, laying on the floor, and the springs were replaced due to sag. HTH!
