Title: Tiger Avon and rear coilovers
Post by: dickybeckett on 30, April, 2015, 08:14:32 AM
Hi
Just purchased a Tiger Avon kit with lots of spares. I am just fitting the rear coilovers and when I offer them to the fixings on my Tiger chassis they do not fit. I am not sure where the coilovers came off but I have taken pictures and also put on the pictures the dimensions. Here are the pictures.

Could anyone assist me in trying to get correct bushes !.
Many thanks
Rick

First off, welcome to the club.

Looking at the pic's, I'd say in the pic's1,2 & 3 shocks obviously are missing their bushes. There are nylon type replacements on Ebay of varying sizes. if they are still loose in the bracket then pack out with a few washers. Make sure the bolts you use have 8.8 marked on the top, as Mr IVA will be checking these.
