Do you know what the shock actually fits?     The seller has a few of them and describes their fit correctly in other ads.

 I have the rear anti roll bar that attaches to the arms where those holes are drilled,   Just in case I could use it on a TR.

I did wonder if those holes might have been for an ARB. The arms look a bit long for a TR though

Stuart.

They are and the taper is in the wrong way and the angle of the arm is too low.    These shocks originally mounted at an angle on an upward sloping chassis rail.

, not horizontal like TR2-4

Peter = I don't know but suggested to the seller they contact V and C Engineering - they have responded saying they use V and C in any event so the mystery may be solved.

The arm looks way too long for an early TR one but there are some similar ones in photos on V and C's website

Here's another one - I'd love to see the 4 pot TR engine this was fitted to - or is it a Sabrina manifold in which case it's cheap as chips!!!

And it's our friends at Moss again this time - fine if you have a live axle import I suppose.

Which is exactly what the part number given refers to John. The Girling axle 4a half shafts are stronger than TR4 ones 

Stuart.

[Chilliman]

Thanks Stuart, I take it back, I certainly didn't realise they had different part numbers.

[Chilliman]

Just checked my original TR spare part catalogue & it gives that part number for the live axle TR4, I suspect the other part number Moss have is for the earlier live axle cars with the different back axle.

What is it about the design that makes them stronger?
