Default Parts

Hi Just staring a build. Not experienced enough to risk some of the suspension components. Are there any places you can buy then prefabricated. Also any other parts store's that would be helpful.

Thanks

Afternoon Steve



I think best place is probably Ebay as most of the one of people have disappeared.

I see on there at the minute a guy selling wishbones etc what running gear are you using?

Hoping to use an mx5 but that is proving difficult to find one at a sensible price. I think the book needs updating with a more modern donor.

Yea the TT was just a hack about midlife crisis i reckon, just thought MX5 would of been less hassle to work on and repairs as i had already stripped one down
