Thanks Dave, have you tried fitting the Rutherford system to the long doors with the hoop: would it interfere with the hoop. I’m drawn to that as the hoop will afford some protection in an accident although I couldn’t state how much!
Might be worth me giving Tim a call and see what he has to say as I really want to align the movement plane of the shocks. I have the same Bilstein shocks as in your picture and it doesn’t take long or hard driving to cause that level of distortion and premature wear. It’s remarkable that Newelms were correctly orienting the shocks to the correct operating plane for their racing conversion to telescopic shocks when Morgan were still fitting lever arm Armstrong yet when they went over to them they failed to get it right!
