MarkB Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi allTrying to get the Vitesse back on the road after 7 years. Fitted TLD sliding splines with a flatter rear spring. I think the standard spring is 165mm in height unloaded, measured from the centre of the lowest leaf to the floor and this is 120mm. I have the Jigsaw Rear Rotoflex Damper Conversion Kit and was hoping to use some adjustable Spax I had put to one side. Closed length is about 9.75 eye to eye and looks to be to long to fit between the rear vertical link and top bracket even at the close length. Any one had any experience of this conversion and the length of shock they used?Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes that is the set up, but I have done away with the Rotoflex and instead am using Kingston Sports Cars sliding splines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 My car has the Canleys CV shaft conversion, complete with AVO adjustable telescopic shocks and a 1" lowering block (albeit with standard Mk2 Vitesse spring). The setup works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
