Hey all - Ive just had the beam MOT'd and it would seem all my nerves were for nothing as it went though with no fails. Whoop.

But i have a watch on the front struts, which are now leaking - so i guess they need replacing.
I have a spare pair of NOS standard struts in the garage as a last resort, but fitted to my car are adjustable coilovers, that look very similar to the original, but with the adjustment screw.

If anyone knows of any going id be very interested!!
Thanks

Spoke to GAZ today they can overhaul any struts fitted to the rapier fastbacks
i only need heavy duty as its for classic rallying but they can also supply coil overs if req

they can refurbish early or late struts for around £90 each +vat

There is a pair on eBay at the moment albeit a bit expensive. You might also find some at speedy spares or alpine West Midlands. Club spares list doesn't show any.

I think club have still got a pair, but remember there are two sizes - 19 and 22mm depending on type of strut fitted.
