type 81 or type 85 front strut housings
Due to the front strut housing on my type 85 having been mullered by the company that did its air ride conversion I need a replacement pair. Obviously (or not) I don't need/want the damper inserts, springs, brakes, hubs etc.. but I'm flexible id someone has complete front struts and doesn't want the hassle of dismantling them.
Effectively I just need the black metal strut tube/hub carrier.. Anyone help? especially in the south.. |

struts
Fit a pair from the first batch of the later series 3 80's. Same strut legs but with wider/larger caliper mounting bolts so big brakes can be easily fitted as I did on mine. Can find part numbers if your interested. Steve Cresswell of C&R told me about these and it meant I could fit the 280mm discs from a G60 Corrado (with slight alteration for the PCD difference) and that looks factory installed. Have the article on it somewhere if interested. Send PM.

When you say series 3 80's do you mean type 89's?
If so does that mean early type 89's had one piece struts, laters going to seperate struts and hub carriers..? |
