Simply added mounting plates (think I used another set of bottom plates ex scrappy) below the springs - using the shackle bolts which are plenty long enough - and I used Mini front damper mounting brackets with large spreader plates bolted through the rear floor. The dampers were angled forwards slightly as I remember to put the plates in a 'strong' section of the floor - and it was a saloon, not a Traveller - which sadly has no 'strong section' at the rear !! The lever dampers were also filled with EP 90 - and the bump stops were cut down slightly.

Crikey BMC have you any teeth left?? Was that with standard springs
or weaker ones (Chapman philosophy...soft springs,strong dampers).
What were the teles you used as I do not think that the Mini fronts have
enough overall movement for fitting to the Minor?
