Pleased to see that the hew Dunford springs incorporate taper leaves. square ones always look crude, although millions of vehicles have.
It is decades since I dismantled a front spring and I cannot recall if it applies to old Sevens but usually care is necessary releasing the tension. Simply undoing any bolt or drilling a rivet can cause the spring to exploded violently. (Years ago a neighbour put himself in hospital when he undid the transverse spring on his Renault, the model like a pre war Opel.)
