Cant help with the shocks, but i guess the springs are dummy ones to get the car rollin.
Then fit new ones when he knows what size/lb rating he needs. I know i would do it like that.

Have you tried rallydesign? I don't know the quality or even if they will have what you are after but I know they sell individual things like that.

I have sorted it all now thanks Tony, i already have some of them 909 sleeve nuts but there old and very battered so being the tart that i am i want 4 new shiny ones so i am going to knock up some sleeves on the lathe and use new locknuts on top of that

The same with the top hats, i have 4 that are perfect and just been powder coated but there different pairs, one pair are high angle and 1 pair are not so i bought 4 new matching ones

Got them from Gartrac if anyone else needs any in future, not cheep but nothing ever is

Thanks
Marc
