Does anyone know where I can source the parts for fitting the front shock absorber upper thread into the crossmember turrets on a mk2? SNG don't stock the bits listed on their website, and jagspares don't list them at all.

Alternatively any equivalent parts would be fine - they look quite generic bits (cup washers, spaced tubes etc).

Any help greatly appreciated! The old bits are pretty mangled!

It might be best to contact SNG Barratt and find out what they might be able to get. I had a quick look and I think you might get what you want, but the parts may be listed for the very similar rear shocks.

 

if you are referring to the two-part rubber bushes, I saw them on eBay a week ago, both in original black rubber and in polyurethane, red or yellow.

I was looking for the top shock absorber-to-chassis bushings for my XJ-6 and eBay threw a bunch of listings at me, including for MK-2.

Also you can get equivalents at most autoparts stores if you are located in the US.

 

Update - SNG were very useful as ever and I was told the front ARB droplink kit would work. I had to order a strange combo of washers and rubbers, and technically the washers are not quite right as the washer shape is wrong (I also had to order repro parts due to stock, but they fit with a bit of attention from a dremel) and you miss a spacer, but looking at the drawings I can't see why it was so complicated originally. Everything fits OK and job is done - dampers fitted, all OK.

Hopefully useful for the next person to try this.
