Overriders, which and where from?
I am looking for a set of overriders to replace the quick jacks on my newly purchased SPF.
Any tips on what to look out for?
Are all of them compatible (center-centre distance)?
What mounting hardware, grommets, etc are needed?
Any goods shops to recommend?
Dan

Personally I would choose the Superformance overriders. You have a quality car and it deserves quality pieces that fit right.
I would contact an SPF dealer such as Time Machines Auto or Olthoff Racing, and order what you need. You might also need new bolts and grommets.

The over riders used by Superformance are polished stainless, not chromed steel. You do not need to replace the body grommets, they are the same.
There are stainless steel "tubes" that go over the bolts that are a different length than the ones used on the quick jacks however the difference is slight and we have used the quick jack tubes with the over riders.
We can supply either the SPF over riders or aftermarket chrome units.

Does anyone have the centre - centre measurement for the mounting holes on an SPF?
I found a set that's 2-5/16" but the seller does not now if they fit an SPF

I can measure mine on Monday. Car is in storage for the winter... But I'll be stopping by the storage facility, unless someone get to you first.

Hi Blas!
That would be great, as I haven't had any replies so far.

I will confirm the measurements for a Superformance Monday AM. Too cold and too much snow today to go to the shop...............

I think it would be a good idea if you actually removed the quikjacks and measured the distance of the holes yourself.
This is a simple task to perform and one you should be able to do yourself. If you can't handle this task, find a mechanic nearby that you trust, because you are going to be paying for his kid's college tuition with all the trips you'll be making for simple tasks.
These cars are for the hands-on driver. There is always something that will break, malfunction or need tweaking on a daily basis, and if you don't want to get your hands dirty, you are going to be frequenting the repair shop regularly.
Just my opinion, others will chime in.

I would not have an issue doing this, and don't mind getting my handy dirty (I spend all of yesterday under the hood of my 68 Mustang), but since the car is still in Florida and I do live in Europe, that does make measuring a bit harder

Stick with the SPF units. They will fit for sure. The others will not likely will not. There are subtle differences. Just go for the sure thing on your new ride.

Measured mine today and it is about 2.25" so the 2 5/16" sounds about right....
