HTH BV.
Now there's a thought Big Vern

I know a few folk on LB have used motorcycle shocks on inboard suspension set ups.

Just for the record, I only toyed with the idea of making my own coil over's

Very fortuantely for me, the parts from my abandoned Triumph Vitesse projects sold unbelievably well .... So much so, those sales have financed the majority of my build.

Buying the Gaz coilovers was heck of a lot easier not having to raid the bank for them
