Thanks Marc, I wish i could afford/justify spending the cash you have on your fez but this thing would never get built lol

I like these tca's better than the compbrake ones when run with comprestion struts as i have never liked the way the load is on the head of the bolt.

They look great Doug. Are they to replace standards or did you have a set of adjustables if you've got a set adjustables for sale let me know.

cheers,
Phil

Wow thanks for that Tom, its taken alot of time, hartake, and money to get it to what it is but i dont think the car would have all the nice bits if it went any other way. Were starting to get the longer days/evenings back now so hopefully il get some motorvation back to get it all built back up and on the road at long long last... It may not have all the big expencive grp a type parts on it like other projects but maybe i can add to what i have over time

Thanks for taking the time to read mate :-D
