I must have had two sets and these didn't go with the car when I sold it.
So the tcas did come off a famous car then! Do they have a rose joint for locating to bottom of upright and can you recollect if the top mounts and uprights were also similar?

Zakspeed started out as a Broadspeed customer so it is quite possible that the arms are same, which could be of interest to Johan as it would suggest that the setup in his pictures is correct / original.

Gordon! I amend my earlier statement to: 'leaf springs are heavy and don't allow simple rate changes- unless your name is Gordon Streeter'.
