(1 PAIR) of 1958-1962.5 NEW AUSTIN HEALEYSPRITE& MG MIDGET REAR SHOCK CONVERSION BRACKETS & BOLTS
These are for a rear tube shock conversion for the 1958-1960 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprites MK 1 with rear ¼ elliptic springs. These brackets will also work on the 1961-1962.5 Austin Healey Sprite MK 2 (some 1963 might have 1/4 elliptical rear suspension) & the 1961-1962 MG Midget MK 1 (some 1963 might have 1/4 elliptical rear suspension).
Using these brackets and hardware you can replace the rear lever shocks with new style tube shocks. For installation you will only need to drill two holes in the in the bottom brackets of the axle where the original level shock links attached (one on each side). The pictures below show the brackets installed with shocks.
I have used this set-up on many Bugeyes with no problems over the past 15 years. Using tube shocks greatly increases the ride quality over the lever shock. I HAVE SOLD 100+ SETS OF THESE. Brackets are now powdercoated black.
This is is for the lower shock brackets and all locking nuts/bolts needed (SHOCKS NOT INCLUDED). This auction hasGrade 5 hardware including locking nuts. Instructions are included with the brackets.The lower shock mount brackets have multiple holes so there is a variety of shocks and sizes that can be used. The lower brackets are CNC plasma cut and made of 3/16" steel. With these brackets you can even use adjustable shocks.
Email me if you do not know if your car has 1/4 elliptical springs. Rear 1/4 elliptical springs are only half of a "normal 1/2 elliptical" rear suspension leaf spring setup. They mount towards the front of the vehicle and do not extend past the rear axle. Please see the pictures below.
IF YOU LOOK AT MY OTHER AUCTIONS YOU WILL SEE THAT I SELL A COMPLETE KIT AS WELL THAT INCLUDES MODIFIED MONROE SHOCKS.
I alsosell a Bugeye Sprite Front Tilting Hood Bonnet Conversion Kit and FRONT SHOCK CONVERSION KITS.
Note: Actual application or fit may require slight modification or trimming to fit. I cannot guarantee this will fit all years listed above. Auction is for brackets, bolts and instructions only.
