Does anyone here know where i can source the rubber spring seats for the front suspension. I thought they were mk4 or 5 Cortina but my local Ford dealer says no.

Cheers,

Mick

Most TVR parts prices come under the heading of 'ouch'. Compare (aftermerket) prices for a 911 and you will se what I mean!

Thanks Dave. I need to order some poly bushes as well so i guess i'll do one big order.
I agree with Pettsie about the prices. I always try to buy for the original source, as soon as you say it's a TVR there is normally a sharp intake of breath followed by lots of oohing and aarghing.

My last big order from RT Racing was £800 for lots of lovely shiny suspension bits (and spring seats). They're very nice, although the spring seats are extortianate for square bits of rubber, not even a pretty colour!

I called RT today to buy some rubber spring seats but they are now obsolete!

Anyone sourced them from another supplier?

Hallo Mick,

The FORD partnumber is : 6039864.
I found a few spares in Germany but they are very difficult to get hold off.
Good luck in your search

Hans.
