Hi Mike. Great kit, finally got around to fitting it been ill for a while. At 5:40 in the video regarding the bolt for the standoff spacer, having difficulty on front subframe due to the cone shape of the upright not being parallel to the shock turret. Basically as you tighten up the bolt is pulls down. What is the reason for this setup? I feel its not really adding much value relative to the work of drilling cutting and grinding to not really gain much additional support. I think the kit is structurally sound and solid without it. Plenty stiffness and support. My 2 cents as a mechanic and sheet metal product designer. Regards Grayson
We do have a video of the rear shocks being fitted to a car. We have not had any other issues with anybody fitting these so please ring me to discuss further.
Hello Mike, I would like to enquire, how to purchase this kit for my dad’s ’96 mgf... the hydragas system is totally out. And it appears there are no more spare parts available for the hydragas system. Due to this, the car has been idle for nearly a year!!! My dad misses his daily rides in the MGF. In the early 70’s he had a red MGA, it was bought from a British engineer expatriate working in Malaysia. I basically grew up in that MGA. We would really appreciate it if you could assist us in getting this conversion kit.

Hi mike has anyone contacted you in regards to fitting this kit to the front of a rover metro/r100? as id be quite willing to donor my Gta (fitted with rear mgf subframe) for experimentation? thanks
Yes I have had enquiries for the metro and also cars using donor MGF subrames .I would not 'experiment' using a customer's car as it is not my policy to use customer's car for development work.I have had trial fittings to the metro front suspension and it appears to be possible with the body clearances but spring rates would need some further development and because it is quite usual for owners to have different weight engines/requirements I would not be able to suggest one spring rate for all cars.I would say you could fit the kit tou your GTa but would need different spring rates ..some corner weighting would be a start.

Hi Mike great video and thanks for uploading. Do you offer a fitting service for your kit?
Thanks for your comments I can arrange a fitting as I have some nominated garages that can do this work.Where abouts are you based?
Easy on the workbench, let’s see a video of fitting to a completed car coz it’s damn near impossible!! I spent 4 days tryna fit the rear shocks
