I'll have to check my spring rate tomorrow but if i didn't preload them I wouldn't have any travel up left or very little I think. Just enough preload to hold the spring sounds good.

Thanks for that, talking about memory i had my strut out just the other day and you think I can remember what springs are in the front of mine 😆 bit it's sounding like yours are firmer. I know I have to preloaded my quite a bit to get the ride height in the middle of the shocks travel. One click from the softest you don't have them bottoming out? Justin

Oh and Murray Coote Automotive don't do any that will fit into my welded on tubes so i would have to cut them off and start again, which may not be a bad option.

I don't know Murray apart from saying hello back then as i was dealing with a guy called Dave who has a dark green 1600. With the Reds you have what spring rate do you have? and me being in Tassie the roads are not the best at all, sometimes i feel like i should wear a kidney belt lol. My zed that have the coil overs is the orange one with the 6.0L in it but from what i remember there isn't too much difference in weights so I'd be thinking I would get away with the same or similar spring rate.

Hi Jeff, Thanks, I have sent them an email with pictures etc to see if they are able to help me. If possible although not the cheapest option but it would be nice to run a set of there's for sure, nice gear. I use to deal with them a little bit back in the early 90's (showing my age now lol) when i was building a 2.1L with a rare 219 cylinder head and they have always been great. Do you know if Murray is still alive? I had a set of webers that Iain Stewart (his co driver) did a lot of work on to get them to run better but then changed to 48mm dellortos which were sooo much better. Hopefully they will be able to come up with something though i might have to cut the welded tube i have on off and start again. His 1200 coupe was a weapon, a friend of mine at the time ended up with his cylinder head and 55mm webers from that on his 1600 drag car and i still have one of their ported heads from back then collecting dust lol.

Hi Guys, Well the time has come that one of my shocks has bleed its oil out into the strut tube, no wonder it was starting to handle a bit funny Arizona Z Car use to use HSD shocks with their coil overs and I'm wondering if anyone might know what model/part number they are through HSD. HSD have changed there housings now to a larger size by the looks of it which doesn't help. Otherwise, does anyone know what other shocks might use 50x2mm housing to save me from having to cut the welded tubes off. Cheers, Justin

Very true I did ask a simple question lol. Thanks for that, I do like the look of the linkage system and the better looking arms on them. Just didn't want to order one to find out there not to good. It will be just for a street engine and im guessing it will be better than a Canon manifold I have sitting there that needs linkages anyway. Cheers, Justin

C.A.R. Apart from both fitting and making brum brum noises like you said last time i tried to get some sensible feedback. We all know the obvious 🙄 And don't say they both suck, there is no such thing as suction.

Cool, its not easy to find anyone who has. What's your thoughts on them compared to the Harada manifolds? Are they worth the extra money? Cheers

Hi guys, has anyone had any experience with these manifolds at all? Cheers, Justin

Yes I did see someone have issues with the Harada with their thermostat housing somewhere.

Yes true though I have read good reports and certainly a bit different. I have a couple of sets of triple Dellorto's so I'll certainly go with them I think.

Or do I sell the sets of triple Dellorto's and just run two hsr 45's or 48's and they certainly seem to produce good power from after the guy on church doing a test between SU's, Mikuni 44's and twin 45 HSR's. HSR's produced 22hp more than the SU's and 8hp more than the Mikuni's.

Lol yes I know both will fit as their both for L6 engines along with the brum brum noise from triples which we all love. Just wondering more so if anyone has used the OER and if the pedal feels smooth etc, any difference anyone might know in performance possibly eg. Port shape/length between the two. The linkage arms look better and stronger on the OER one where I have heard of the Harada ones can slip on the shaft. So just any constructive feedback I guess. Both types use the original linkage system though yes the Harada is also available with the cable option which I wouldn't be using. I have a cannon manifold but no linkages so by the time I get linkages to suit I'm part way there to a better manifold so I'm thinking of selling it and getting one of these just deciding on which one. Cheers,

Hi Guys, I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with the OER triple manifold which is the copy of the Sanyo type and how it would compare to the Harada manifold. Cheers, Justin
