The new front suspension mounted at last ...

Brake hoses were made by a local company using their new tooling ...

Front of the car stands slightly higher now. With the lower spring seat at its lowest setting (with the springs just seated on full droop that is) the car sits a bit higher then with the old struts.
Will first drive the car a bit to see how she handles with the new and much stiffer springs. To start with I have put the dampers at their softest settings.

Only need to bleed the brakes ...

Standard TR7 front struts adapted by a local (Dutch) suspension manufacturer (AST) to accept their Sportline II dampers.

More info in my weblog

More new things ...

got the chance to trial fit some borrowed compression struts (meant for a friends Mk2 Escort).
Looks like a fairly straight forward suspension upgrade for 't Kreng ...
