Following from a previous thread: It just so happens I've been given some Mini front shocks so thought I might give them a try on them back of the GT6 which currently has bracket conversion but with standard 'Spitfire' shocks.
First: Could I get a reality check on some dimensions? Would I be right in thinking that a 'standard' shock has a closed-open range of (approx) 255 to 320mm? The Mini shocks I've got measure 215 to 325mm. So on that basis it's an inch and a half extra travel on upw
Hi Chris
I fitted the Koni Classic Type 80-1717 dampers to the rear of my Mk2 Vitesse using the damper Extension Brackets
These Dampers are intended for the front of a Classic Mini from the 1960's
I have attached the Pdf file of the Dampers, Closed length is 216mm, Open length is 296mm measure from the centres of the bushing, so yours sound slightly different?
I used the original lower bushing but had to drill the metal tube out slightly, it was still thick enough though?
