Just a few pics to show you my winter suspension project !








More pix to follow !

NICE , nothing like fresh paint and new/renovated calipers to make the front end look like new

8) Nice work Jimbob!, you have been a busy boy! , looking good for the mega wheels show in May ?

Yup ! Should be good for May ! Do you know when yet ?

Here's a few more pics of the progress today ! Always the same though , you start one job and find a few more that want doing :roll: ! And as she has the slots already cut out for it , i'll fit an anti-roll bar as well !





And here's the other side ....More work !!!

Should be on the May bank holiday weekend...2/3rd and 4th May?

That looks 100% better mate,new rack boot and all! Must dig mine out of its winter sleep!!
Need to get some braided brake hoses from Gary,finish that off

Looking good 8) 8)

BTW, does anybody know if the marina front hubs are common with any of the herald hubs as I was looking at the alloy front hubs that Merlin Motorsport do as a weight saving / PCD conversion opportunity... :|

The only ones that may fit are the TR7 hubs as they share the front wheel bearings with the Marina. I have seen aluminium TR7 hubs about, I think Ben Clayton had a set at one time and he had a contact who could make them up.

All you have to do is find Ben.

So it's Mr Ben we need to magically appear and not the shopkeeper..



I'll get my coat on the way out..

Yeah ! All you have to do is find Ben ! Good luck with that !

Thought I'd better get on with my front suspension, torsion bars .... the works!!

Looking good Trev ! Those rossini's look good ! Did a bit more tonight as well ! Drilled out the hole for the anti roll bar and put a bit more back together !

just got to get the suspension brackets made on that note do you need the bracket back that i took up with me if so i can post it if need be. for me to fit a front anti rollbar i have got to cut out the slot so a little more work needed there. duel line brakes to be fitted as well so a busy be is me

I reckon you should be able to manage that slot Trev ! And i'm hoping its gonna improve the Mk1 handling alot ! Do you have a spare anti-roll bar ? I imagine you have !
