Summer was really short this year. Chat up Grundy for a quote. My insurance hasn't increased in five years. I had Hagerty at first and by the third year cane along they wanted a 40% increase. Screw them.

Heat is a concern, but what about ground clearance? I'd be a little worried.

I got my five leaf packs from John R Spring many moons ago. Be sure to match the front spring bushings to your caltracs. I ordered the wrong solid bushings when I ordered mine and had to buy them again.

Solid mounting the axle to the spring?

B2001. You'll be happy. I have mine adjusted six clicks on both rebound and compression. They build them to order. I had mine in a couple weeks. You'll have to yalk to FF about the torsion bars. They don't make runs very often. I bought mine 11 years ago. Toss a factory set of front and...

Viking has active part numbers for front and rear shocks for our cars. They're $250 a piece and worth every damn penny. If you pair these with a set of FF 300# bars it will completely transform how your M handles. Like a modern car.

It's worse. That thing is 2.24:1. In the UK? That's going to be rough. Not many parts cars to be found over there. The easiest way is to find a 8.25" out of a fleet car with a 4bbl. It'll have 2.94 gears and bolt right in. Just have to shorten the driveshaft. There are no aftermarket...

If you're making a set yourself this is the way. Instead of washers use shock bushing keepers as they're cupped to the bushing. For the sleeve over the bolt black pipe can be used. Dad did this for his. For the frame rail bushings Energy Suspension has bushings that fit. You just need to...

I don't even know what's in the Fifth. It's an 800cca something. I think it's a name brand. It's seven years old now. My F150 has a no name in it that went dead from not being used. Shocked it back to life with a stick welder and it's been fine for three years now. I only pay around $200...

That'll fit a lot more than listed. Put the same fixture in my 5A.

Was NOS all you could find? I wouldn't try 40 year old rubber bushings, but if it's all you can find...

My car has the same issue. I'm using Firm Feel torsion bars and pivot bushings. They also recommended a thicker bottom plate I tried it didn't do anything. If I had to guess poly bushing is just deforming. I've thought about going back to rubber if I could find a set.

What are those things? They look alien.

You've come to the right place. Leaving it stock or any mods?
