Mr Elsie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Does this look like the correct spring for gt6 mk3 roto flex? Doesn't appear to have any of those spacers I can see on canley web site. Due to be fitted tomorrow so just checking. Came from moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 HiOnly just seen this messageI have one from Moss/Triumphtune as well. If the spacers you are looking for are the little discs - no I don't have them either. I bought mine before xmas but not fitted it yet. Have you fitted yours?Van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotoflex Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I am just now seeing this also! Sorry, Mr. Elsie!Here are the photos of the factory GT6 Mk3 springs, rotoflex suspension spring top, swing-spring bottom:The factory shop manual has rear spring specs as to number of leaves, arch, etc. I am not near my shop manual now, but if you're near yours, it's at the beginning of the section for the rear suspension.

Mr Elsie Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Rear spring is fitted now and was a pig of a job. Raised the back end by about an inch!! . Had to swap front springs also for standards as I had quite low springs on front and there was a noticeable angle from the rear to the front. Looks more even now with standard springs.Annoyingly though I still seem to bottom out on shocks which surprises me. Have them on softish settings but I'd have thought they wouldn't do this with new spring on. Am I missing something obvious. Shocks are gaz and are mounted on the extension bracket and not to wheel arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Elsie Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Got the shocks from that other club and were supposed to be for the bracket version. Hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
