Leda adjustable front struts from a Group A spec classic touring car, along
with polybushes for the TCAs and ARB. Unfortunately the adjuster on one of
the rear dampers has seized, plus I think they'd be a bit too short anyway
so none for the rear end. Instead I've got some Gaz adjustable dampers to
replace the aged nivomats. Although I think my springs may be a bit too
long, but we'll see.

Just need to replace the brake pads, make some mounts for the flex-pipes,
and maybe give the nice big AP 4 pots a lick of paint and the front end will
be done. Very pleased with todays progress

Get a quote, get them serviced properly.
Gaz are good, Leda are better.

short for road use. I'll to do some measuring!
