Need to get some adjustable platform shocks for my V8S, been offerd some from a low mileage Tamora.
Does anyone know if they will fit ?

Tam ones are, length on rears is 400mm long.
front shock is 365mm long
both length measurements are taken from the bolt hole centres which are 12mm.
The mounting brackets are 40mm wide

Appreciate any comments

Probably not. They will be valved and rated for a Tam, which has more power and a different weight. Also IIRC the Tam is dual wishbone all round, where as the S is wishbone/trailing arm.

Yes
I'm afraid the S series have different length shocks to all the other cars, fronts are similar to all but slightly shorter but the rears are 37mm shorter than a Tammy and 25mm shorter than a Chimmy/Griff
