I'm pretty close to dealing with upgrading the supersoft suspension in SRX1248, a 66 Silver Shadow with the first variation suspension (set up to compete with Cadillac, not Mercedes). One option is the Harvey-Bailey Engineering kit out of the UK. But I know you chaps have better ideas, so let's hear them. Object is flatter cornering, lane changing et.c. without losing too much of the typical ride quality inherent in a Shadow of any year. | ||

Hi William and welcome to our Forum, For more information, go to the following Australian website and see also Richard Treacy's posts today on anti-roll [sway] bars. Harvey-Bailey make a good kit however the price may be higher than other alternatives from reputable suppliers: http://www.rachapmanautomotive.com.au/ | ||

This is now the third time I have attempted to contact them via e-mail - last two times have garnered no replies. At least Harvey-Bailey come back with replies. | ||

In the now out "Just Cars" mag theres a picture for sale of a 1967 model Bentley in Queensland somewhere thats got a flame paint job coming down the front side of both guards. It looks like its a bit lowered and the guy says its got IRS so it must handle good too. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Regarding the 1967 Bentley with IRS; if the year of manufacture is correctly quoted as being 1967 then all standard production 1967 R-R/B cars were delivered with IRS and 4 wheel disc brakes as standard. | ||

Thanks for that but I thought because of the flame paint job it might have had a Jag rear end or something like that and was interestng only because it was near my model. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

I find it very off-putting when reading vehicles-for-sale ads to see the seller listing a whole series of features that were standard on the car. As though they were something special. Alloy wheels, wood grain (!) or even worse; AIR. What does that mean? It probably means that the seller has not owned the car for long and knows little about it himself. And assumes that nobody else does either. Peter |
