rayman Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Managed to get a good bit of work done over the past few week,worst of all was all the flatting and polishing (sucks) Have had to put what i think are early front overiders on as the one i bought new didnt fit But managed to modify them nicely to fit onto the rear with help from a grinder which removed these whatever they are Hoping to crack on with the interior and engine next and must remember to say hello to the wife next time i pass her on the stairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnboy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hia Rayman, hope you car passes the test, as you may know i posted about needing front springs for my A but decided to try MAD sportive as per your post a few pages back, they came back to me with a part number of VV121009 all 4 springs and 40mm lowering, (£138.04 all in with delivery) but he said they fitted from'71 till '85 i think which would be manta A and B??, i thought B spring where different so i was wondering if you could check the part number on your set for me please if you have time, cheers for now John.

rayman Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes that's the part number I have as well.took it today and passed no problems or advisaries.car sits really nice with the mad springs and I would recommend them to anyone. Will put the originals to one side just in case .sorry not hot back earlier due to work and laptop busted ..Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi Mick, thanks for checking for me, didn't want to order them in case they where wrong, i'll put an order in tomorrow now i know they are right. Glad your car passed, puts a big grin on doesn't it, enjoy, cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
