Vixen S3 rear suspension
Discussion
Spacers don't neassarily go anywhere and differ from car to car dependant upon how "out" your wishbones are in comparison to your suspension brackets. A thin washer is preferable between upright / shock / shock / Nut.
hang the uprights from the top wishbones then check your wheelbase on each side?

Makes perfect sense to me. I remember being slightly alarmed that my front wishbones were a different shape to each other! The distances between the triangulation was about equal but for me it was a nice introduction into TVR mechanicals. N.
Thanks for the answers everyone, that's a great help!

Gold chassis and red wishbones?
Each to his own I suppose.
I know, it's not mine though, honest. My Dad is rebuilding it for my mother, she's calling the shots on the colors...Each to his own I suppose.

I'm pretty sure spacer A should be on the other side of the upright. I'm sure others will put me right if I've got that wrong.
Looks like I'm not the only one with a Vixen in Hampshire!
My dads based in the Fleet area so if you're ever passing let us know, I'm sure he'd love to have a chat and see a running Vixen, it might give him the push to step the restoration up a gear too! Maybe i'm just impatient. Looks like I'm not the only one with a Vixen in Hampshire!
