MGB front end upgrade

Heh Dave, Tom, Fritz! I completely forgot that Hawk is the UK distributor for Kirkham. Any chance me and the rest of us MGB front end owners can get a deal on the Hawk MGB front suspension upgrade?

Thanks
Rick

Hi all,

I'll ask Gerry for a good price and how to ship the parts. How many sets will you need? It's a big diffrence beetween to original, much, much better.

Can someone post some details about the upgrade?

Thanks. There are a number of us who are looking to do this upgrade. I would imagine about six of them would not be unexpected.

Rick and others,

There's a very good thread on www.uniquecobra.com by NolastYankee on the rescue of the "Spence car." Their last chapter has detailed info and pictures on their installation of the Hawk front end last weekend.

He might also have some pricing info for you.

I have been following that story Clay. It is a great story no matter whose car you drive!

I was hoping that a combination of the Kirkham/Hawk connection and the number of folks with MGB front ends looking to upgrade would rate a little price cut (Artnz/Butler/Unique, etc)! Always looking for a bargin!
