Considering your profile says you like to drag race the Chimaera, I would double that. Oh dear!!

But on a 1993 model, most probably original, I would hope.

The old girl doesn't drag anymore. But yes original riggers. But here's the new ones that are winter projects

I would be checking your front wishbone mounts under the ex manifolds if I was you judging by the appaling condition of those O/R's do you boys never occasionally look under these cars ?

It was one of the first things I checked when I bought my 2000 model in November last year, as well as the outriggers (although you can't see all of them.) Glad to say they were intact. Waxoil can cover some things though so I check regularly.

I have owned the car for the last 15 years. So I don't really look under it often. Although it needs a lower wishbone. But other than that is all kosher.

Crickey, they look like something dragged up from the bottom of the ocean!
The newly fabricated ones look nice though.
The fibreglass must be stronger than it looks!

They deteriorated rapidly this year while she was out and about. I don't think the pothole In the road helped

My word. Something to be said for winter layups after all.
Thank God this sort of thing isn't terminal.

All tubes are being filled with clear wax oil so and the outside being sprayed with black to make sure they never rot again

Great idea. Peace of mind.
