Monty's rear springs have definitely gone soft and my rear AVO dampers are shot too, so we're starting with a pair of BCC anti-tramp springs and a set of Bilstein dampers from Dan White, I suspect we'll add a Panhard rod too.

Unsurprisingly the new tyres have made a huge improvement already, but I now need to let Techniques create the right rear suspension setup that will work in harmony with Monty's rather rare Mulfab wishbone front end, Brian was quite surprised to see it as apparently there are only 8 cars out there with this setup.

Monty is already a surprising little back road scratcher, but I honestly feel with a bit of work there's a proper little go-cart waiting to come out drive

Until the 20th cuckoo




Hi,


I would be quite interested to hear your thoughts on the Mulfab wishbone front end and how it performs compared with the original setup. I'm considering having Mulfab (I've been in discussion with Neal at Mulfab about this option) put the front wishbone or coil overs on my front end. I currently have the SSL front setup and find it absolutely inadequate with the extra weight and low slung front end of a Roadster, and believe I experience the king pins digging in which may be a weakness of the SSL system. Despite the system having only covered 4k miles since fitting, I've had the setup all checked out and it still can't handle sleeping policemen at anything other than snails pace. It appears Mulfab are getting more enquiries about the wishbone front end quite recently, having satisfied the original demand some time ago. Maybe more people are thinking of keeping their trads and seeking ways to improve them.

I'd be interested to hear what Techniques recommend for the rear suspension setup and as the back end on Roadster 4 seaters have few real options and I'm considering coil overs or air suspension for that.

Any input would be appreciated.
