I have scans of the instructions for the Wheelwright tube shock conversion kit. I don't know if it is the same, but I can't see how it could be too different. If you want, I could send them directly.

WOW! I didn't expect to start such a heated debate on the topic. I agree with one responder that the rear kit (I'm looking at) bolts on to the same mounts as the existing, after you remove the origin

I have to disagree with this too. Lever-arms shouldn't need topping-up, if they do they are leaking, and if they are leaking they are shot. I've never topped mine up (60k on a Morris Marina over 6 ye

"I SAID THAT!!!" ........suddenly the place goes silent I said that you can buy the rear Spax kit from Faspec for $243. By your calculation of ~$100 per Spax, the brackets only cost you $40, not $100

rear spax kit is $225 from Proper MG or Brit-Tek, or hell, I can't remember. I like the spax kit, and it's already ready to install; no fabrication of brackets either. I must admit, though, that I ha
