Is that new book or new condition or both?
This is personal advise or personal opinion.
Constructive comments gratefully recieved, picking is left for noses.

Heh - I didn't think of that!
New condition, Ron Campion Locost book (car is for the 750mc series) - not the Haynes Roadster.

Or Luego. They do a suspension "package" which appears to contain everything you need and price seems competitive.
Any updates for your gallery? I have been watching your gallery for ages now and using it as inspiration for my own build! (which I started last week)

Progressed slowed a little as I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks. Didn't completely halt though - I got some Cortina
uprights/calipers and the required twin choke weber & manifold form eBay while I was away.
I got the transmission tunnel finished over the weekend though:
How's yours coming along?
