Yep,  Jay's right.  I got one NOS in the early '80s when Jaguar/Rover/Triumph 
had a big sell-off of all the factory competition parts.  I got the other 
side as a rebuilt from AH Spares.  There were adjustables made for bugeyes and 
a 
different set for later Spridgets.  These look like the later ones, but PPP or 
Frank  might be able to eyeball them better than me.  The ones for the later 
cars can be adapted to the bugeye by fitting an adapter plate between the body 
and shock.  I have a pattern for it, if someone decides to buy them for the 
BE.  IMHO, the "Buy it Now" price is a pretty good deal if you want 'em bad 
enough.  I really don't adjust mine all that often, but they're fun to have as 
a 
curiosity.  I consider mine worth a fortune as that's how I met Daniel 1312 
when he called me from England looking for a picture of one.
