    Yes , still needs a bit of modification , need to machine it off to roughly the same angle as the mounting plate, bought it home and did a trial fit and noticed straight away my mistake . obviously the two short bolts are just holding it in position , just in case there's any confusion .

      Awaiting arrival of front shocks , any pictures of how they are assembled into top mount would be good , Will there be two rubber bushes with metal plates either side?
      does one go above mounting plate before it is slotted into H section , working on the principle "if in doubt ASK"

      Thanks Bob

        Based on standard assembly Mike would need to advise any changes on the pro-techs moose549

        First drawing here shows sequence but misses out the actual shock mount. Description is accurate

        Second one here is better and shows the actual top mount plate for the shock, you can assemble the lot off car and then bolt that plate in, two studs in inner arch area and the other two bolts are obscured by the fuel tank

            Bob, 3 washers and two bushes bottom bush has washer pointing up calamped with lower cup of the top spring mount. Top side lower washer cupped up should have a ring edge to centre it on the top of the suspension mount, cup the bush and the top washer cup down to clamp.

            I will have plenty here Bob if you need any, might have some good bushed also, just need to make sure that the protechs dont come with their own bushes.

            IF you need them just ask

              The dampers are on the way. It is really simple to fit. I will do you some photo's and possibly a video of me fitting them tomorrow.

                            I did mean those lovely springs and shocks but since you suggested it I got a Guinness.
                            Their a bit of sexy car stuff and i was trying to be polite. ;)
