Wayne’s front shock mounts

Wayne’s front shock mounts
Just a quick note to thank Member “Wayne” for all his help supplying me with his front shock bushings. He sent me the new parts already mated to donor housings to make it easier to do without laying the car up to long.
I had a local shop do the actual work, ( I’m scared to death of compressed springs) took them just under 3 hrs, $300.
The car has 120200 miles on it now and once again rides like a dream. I drove 500 miles round trip yesterday and even horrible RT 290 in Worcester, MA never even upset the car. It’s an absolute please to drive again.
Again, Wayne (cjd777) couldn’t have been more helpful or gracious with his help. He should be getting my cores back today.

Wayne (cjd777) and Steve (baxtor) deserve loads of credit for what they have done for the XK8/XKR worldwide community. Welsh, URO, Eurospare, and any other commercial business selling their own inferior front shock mount products could learn quite a bit by spending a few days with either of these guys....

Fitting Wayne's mounts resulted in a totally novel experience for me - having fitted a "modification" to my car and took the good lady for a drive, she actually remarked that the car felt much better and nicer to be in. This is the first time she has ever thought that something I have done to a car has improved it. Thank you for this genuinely novel experience.
