Ok , now I need to find one of those GT 6 Mk 3 springs as well for my Mk 1 . They can be fitted without modification , right ? Can a late 1500 Spitfire spring also be used ?
Which is the best , swing spring or camber compensator ? Chris de Wet . PO Box 472 , Ifafi , 0260 , South Africa . 1956 TR 3 . Commission no. TS 10795 1964 Spitfire 4 Mk 1 . Commission no.

The early GT6 came with a swing axle fixed spring, with the usual swing axle bad habits. The GT6 then was equipped with a rotoflex suspension. This was a more conventional fully independent design, without the severe camber changes and jacking. It was expensive though. Very late GT6's were switched back to a swing axle, but with a swing spring. Identical setup as the later Spitfires. It was a cost saving effort apparently. It brought back the nasty camber changes of a swing axle, but with a reduced tendancy to jack or tuck because of the swinging leaf spring. The swing spring swing axle is capable of quite good handling, at the expense of ride comfort. It is cheaper to maintain. "This e-mail is sent in terms of the following policy/disclaimer.
