Triumph Spitfire Rear Shock Absorbers 

Steve you are the Messi of the Spitfires! great video as always!

Nice job Steve, that Spit will be in tip top shape before long, keep em coming.

Nice and easy job Steve. Looking forward to front shock video!

I enjoy these Spitfire projects Steve, great stuff. This was the first job I did on mine when I got it, except I kept the shocks standard!

Great video and inspiring as always! I’m doing a full rebuild and got those exact same shocks, and I’m hoping to fit them next week, so perfect timing!

Very nice!

Looked a little chilly there Steve....putting some money into the old girl...those Spax shocks are not exactly cheap compared to the standard ones.....I’m running the same on the front of my 250.

You could use a spare wheel instead of one of the road wheels under the car then if it does fall off the axle stands you won't damage the wheels that you went to the trouble to paint. Just a thought...

Front wheels chocked 👍

Blimey, that went smoothly Steve! Took me ages to get the top bolts off mine. Even the rubber bushes had welded themselves in place. Nice replacements though. It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on those but the car sits nicely so I'm sure you'll be pleased

Steve, would it have been possible to rotate the shocks 180 degrees, to make the adjuster easier to get at without removing the wheels?

Good Morning Meastro. First time l've seen the hardtop Steve , very handy for winter driving . As soon as you said you'd changed the rear spring the damage on the inner wheel arch lips made sense. I' d dab on a bit of etch primer and then underseal over that bare metal . But that underseal has really done it's job. You have to remind yourself this car is 54 years old ! Really hope you stay safe as this new strain is very worrying and l guess you're still having to work. And l can't understand the decision on priority , but what do we know ? Well take care and stay safe. 😊

Got a pair of these to go on my Herald. Dumb question probably, but does it matter whether you fit them with the adjusters facing the backs of the wheels as Steve has, or facing in towards the middle of car, so they be adjusted from underneath without taking rear wheel off?

Great Job, will handle better then before...by the looks of it your chassis in urgent need of a treatment too, loosing a lot of metal by rust at back... Anyway, still on the roads... and better then before.

Shock , Horror ! Oh wait it's Steve so it must be OK - I think lockdown is getting to me :-) .

Loving the series mate! What are you going to do about the dreaded underseal?

What’s your thoughts on replacing the rubber bushes with polyurethane ones?

Noce one... going to upgrade mine. Are these easy to adjust?

You made that look very easy, I'm sure that I'd take swear words to the next level. Quick stupid question, are the fittings on the Spitfire imperial? Also if I can ask another question, what socket set are you using? Sorry for the questions

Nice video again, bet it took longer to set up the cameras than do the job itself! What worries me about adjustable shocks is there is a choice, I'd rather have less option and just be told what the best setting is 🤣.
