Vignes,
Although it is off topic, can I suggest that you turn off your CAPS LOCK when typing your messages? It makes them much easier to read.

Terima kasih banyak.


(But please don't stop asking for advice - that is what makes this such an outstanding group!)

Regards,
David

The Clausager figures are correct for a May 63-on CB roadster according to information I have (Leyland Workshop Manual, not Clausager), the Teglerizer figures are for a pre-May 63 car. They both have five leaves plus a bottom plate. Early RB roadsters had 6 leaves plus a bottom plate i.e. the same as the GTs, changed back to 5 plus bottom plate in September 75.

thanks paul. will follow clausagers figures.
