BogMonster Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Possible I guess but would need to be able to fabricate all new suspension mounts as the rear axle is fundamentally different in design with radius arms and a Watts linkage rather than trailing links & A frame. Also not sure about the "track" of the spring seats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Why??? They are semi-floating and a real step backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Baldwin Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Contact Buryas Bridge garage in Penzance.

LR90 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Yes, I'm with John. Why? From what I've seen here is might be less effort to fit C303s and I'm sure there are other options that would give a better return fo your efforts.
