Telescopic front conversion.

Post by cowboybob » Sat Jan 24, 2009 7:37 pm

Hi all,

Has anyone got any parts for a front telescopic front conversion. After market or Ital would be great. Or I remeber a site/link that someone had posted a set of drawings for the conversion but can't seem to find it any more.
Anyway, money waiting if anyone can help.

Many thanks in advance.
If it ain't broke take it apart anyway,at least you will know how it works when it does break.

Hi,i might be able to help you out with most of the parts.I know i have top arms and most of the brackets for the bottom arm.The bottom front arm is different to the ones without it,but you can just bolt the necessary brackets to the non telescopic suspension.I havent got any front shocks but are apparently the same as sherpa ones or i guess aftermarket performance ones may be available.Let me know if you interested,cheers :lol:

This is the best conversion to any Marina or Ital,and easy to perform,just watch for wear in the top pivot bushes (you can shim them) as this is a test failer,but really the first job to perform big diffrence,if you want to go the full hog get a set of Spax adjustables BIG BIG diffrence ion the cars road manners.
