Well, Iâ??ve put my new leaf springs on and I find, just as I feared I would, 
that it's a little high at the back.
Iâ??ve been advised to have patience and I should find they settle down 
somewhat. 
I will give it some time, but as I mentioned before I find a lot of BJ8s look 
as though theyâ??ve been kicked up the backside, and now Iâ??ve got one.
If it doesnâ??t settle down by itself, I think Iâ??ll use the lowering block 
method rather than removing leaves. Itâ??s a pretty simple principle and the 
springs stay at the same rating.

I went to watch my brother race in vintage events at Mosport Park and I 
realized, answering questions about my car, that Iâ??ve owned it for fifty 
years now.
I bought it when I was 19 and it did not look like it does now, but my wife 
says she misses the days when it was just an old sports car and I didnâ??t care 
where I parked it!

Stephen, BJ8
