On holiday at moment so no access to manual; Rimmers have 12% off GAZ springs and shock absorbers (RT1273 kit) however my car is a an 1974 Triumph 1500TC, please could someone advise if the standard dolomite springs and shocks in the GAZ kit will fit? Thanks

Hi Mark
For fitting coil overs to my 1975 1500TC I needed to replace the front spring upper mounts with below.
Front Spring Upper Mounting Plate - Sprint/1850 - Part number 157333

…but the picture shown on that Rimmer Bros web page is a top mount for 1300/1500, not Sprint/1850, so check exactly what they have before ordering!
The Sprint/1850 spring top mount has an additional circular flat plate spot welded to the underside to accommodate the bigger diameter spring.

Hi
Yeah, it was the issue with the AVO shocks I had were the spring not fitting, It was Jigsaw that sold me them the the top mounts!
