I picked up my protectors at Wilcox MG. I had a chat about them and they said they fit protectors if not already fitted when doing suspension work on 75s, and they have seen later models without them.
The technical note I saw was just covering 75 saloons of a limited band of serial numbers, almost as if the defect was sentenced as as a spring quality fault for a batch, rather than a design fault. I don’t know if there were other tech notes for other models/ ser. nos.
