Last year I bought a space frame Imp circuit race car that I rescued from a barn and I'm rebuilding. I identified through the type 12 calipers that it uses Spitfire front suspension (most of which is type 14 as it happens). I visited Dave at the Spitfire Graveyard yesterday and with his help we identified what I had and what I needed. A more knowledgeable and helpful chap you would be hard pressed to find. Unfortunately I completely forgot to show him the shock absorbers I had in the car boot too. I was hoping that they may be Spitfire as well. They are Spax and have the following numbers stamped into them: 1) Off-side - SB 141X C52 2) Near-side - SB 141 H429 Spax themselves couldn't identify them because they told me the current Spax company is a new company using the Spax name but doesn't have any connection to the original Spax company and they don't have access to their old part numbers. Google brought up nothing and Demon Tweeks had no reference of them. I have attached a photo with the tape measure showing the size. Please could you take a look and let me know whether these were likely to be Spax direct replacements for original Spitfire shocks so I know which replacements to buy? Many thanks Dave.
