(1) 1958-1978 NEW MG MIDGET & AUSTIN HEALEY SPRITE FRONT TUBE SHOCK CONVERSION KIT, BRACKETS & HARDWARE ONLY.
This is for a front tube shock conversion for the 1958-1978 Austin Healey Sprites & MG Midgets. Using these brackets & hardware you can replace the dampening of the lever shocks with new style tube shocks. This is a replica of the Wheelwright kit available many years ago and leaves the stock lever shocks in place (dampening is disabled). It only requires drilling one hole on each of the inner fenders. All brackets are CNC plasma cut from 3/16” steel. The upper brackets are powdercoated and the lower stud brackets are painted with Hammerite. You will see that there is not another kit on the market like this today. It is a very simple design and easy to install. The other kit on the market today is several times more expensive than this one. THIS KIT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TUBE SHOCKS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN SHOCKS. Please see my other auctions if you would like to buy a kit that includes Monroe or Carerra shocks.
There is some discussion about the mounting style of this kit and the upper mount actually passes through the sheetmetal and mounts to a new bracket using the stock lever shock mounting bolts. It is suggested that you reinforce the lower A-arm as it is possible to crack the factory metal over time. This is a very reliable kit that has been used for many years but I cannot be responsible for any torn sheetmetal or cracked A-arms.
