Time to finish off the rebuild!! :D

[Brap_Brap]

Greetings and salutations, I hope all of you have been happily wedging in my absense.

The financial crash of '08 screwed up plans for the past couple years but I'm finally in the position to put the finishing touches on my car.

For parts all I need to order is Front/Rear shocks.... err dampers?
The front is Cortina I know, but is it Mk 2? Mk 3? etc?
What is the rear from? Anyone have parts numbers perhaps?

I used to know this darn info, but being away from wedge-world made me forget.

TIA

Mike

I've got GAZ shocks on mine but they weren't cheap. Others have AVO, which are less expensive, and speak highly of them;

Welcome back Mike. I tried to get ahold of you awile back and left you a me3ssage but you didn't return my call. didn't know if you just moved your unit up 17th Ave. Knew you would pop up sooner or later. Adrian usually has the best answers to questions like this. Marshall seems to be busy with what is going on in his live and several TVR owners on this side of the pond are now using the UK suppliers more and more. There is now a Red Rose (specked) Cerb. over on this side of the pond. Talk to you later. You got my number.

Wayne.

Good to have you back I wondered what had happened with your restoration post. Get phtographong everything!

Don't waste your cash on Cortina dampers though as the fronts are TVR specials as well as the rear.

I had AVOs on my Esprit, I can't speak highly of them at all.

I've got no problems with aftermarket parts, but being in Canada and ordering from England still requires parts/model numbers then... please and thanks.

@Wayne... My old phone died and I lost your number with it. Give me a shout so I can save it to my new phone. Thanks. 403-466-MIKE
