Genuine Longbridge Delphi Drop Links - 4 year warranty! 10 available

DMGRS · 22nd July 2018, 21:55

We've got a limited number of Longbridge factory stock drop links available - the parts fitted to the 75 and ZT in production.

They're unfortunately not cheap, as we had to go through a heck of a rigmarole to get hold of them - but they'll last the 100,000 miles or more the originals regularly do.
Condition is good, however may have slight surface corrosion due to being stored since 2005.

Not to be confused with the Delphi drop links available at the moment, which don't seem to last anywhere near as long (and are noticeably different in design to the original item).

Supplied in brown box packaging, as we bought these as full 75 / ZT front suspension assemblies that we have disassembled ourselves.

Lovely job - just ordered mine

DMGRS · 23rd July 2018, 15:56

Looks like I need to hunt down some more of these!
Thanks again for the orders.

I have my pair stored away for when the current ones fail - as experience tells me they inevitably will!

I have examined the Genuine set Matt provided and the quality compared to the pattern parts is clear.

There is a bit of surface “patina” from a decade or so of storage but what the heck! - when fitted it will get all sorts of road mess thrown at them!

I would say these are well worth it given that my ZTT had the original set on when I bought it at 97k miles but these were replaced due to perished rubber covers

If only I had known then what I know now!! because since purchase four years the ZTT is now on its fourth set.

But I now have true OE set ready to go on😃

Fitting original parts is all well and good however the rubber parts are 13 years old!

Something that I wouldn't do.

I had a new droplink fitted to my ZTT last month and they were very reasonable and not rubbish off ebay.

I wouldn’t worry about the rubbers - they’re easily replaced once showing signs of wear, and the 15 year old items on my ZT190 with 100k on the clock still look like new.

For anyone concerned about the age of the rubbers, leave me a note and I’ll include a new set in the box free of charge.
Can’t say fairer than that
