any particular type?

i'm a cheddar mature man myself.

are VR's quarter glass rubbers any good?

heard differing reports.

been fitting these for years.

yes, they can make the back end twitchy but i wouldn't say excessively hard.

was all the rage not so long ago.

bring back Rieger

i've had this for a while but its done very little mileage.

2.5 inch jetex rally system.

£80 if its of any use to you.

just rebuilt two older mgf's, the second only last week.

was surprised what was still available for them body wise.

get it while you can.

i've done a beemer dash in a mk1.

looks nice but the heater doesn't clear the screen properly because of the direction the vents point.

got some pics somewhere.

compound will only clean up the lacquer. the faded paint wont change, just be brighter.

its worth turning them down to fully soft for a while to let them bed in.

might sound daft but in my experience, they tend to last longer.

i'll 'ave one if theres a job lot available.

on a side note, pilkington do list them but my local supplier was stonewalled when he inquired for me.

£100 a panel!

maybe 5 years ago but not with the price of decent paint now.

it will also have been 2-pack on the original car. they stopped using celly in the 70's.

the colour will definitely have faded so your need at least a blend into adjacent panels.

i normally charge at least £500 a side ...

fronts are all the same as well.

all the suspension and associated parts are interchangeable.

you can MOT a car up to 28 days in advance and not loose any time on it.

might as well get it done first before you rush into spending money you don't have to.

theres always a bit of play in them anyway.

fair point.

i must admit, once i've set my height(normally too low), i never change it.

do find that it stops rust and doesn't wash off though.

FK's did come with a grease rattle can, don't know if they still do.

i've always coated the threads in copper grease when assembling.

i'm sure others will have better ideas but its cheap and has always worked well.

as said, coilovers bolt to standard mounts but get the best you can afford.

i've personally got bonrath ones but be wary of these.

their indestructible but harsh is an understatement.
