spare parts

Hi Neil, I wish I had read this post sooner and hope I'm not too late. By coincidence I have contacted Atlas looking for front suspension parts since my ZTT broke a front spring. It's currently off the road as the spring is in the tyre. I won't be able to go there, it's too far, so they'll need posting, unless any members happen to be travelling this way!

You say your car had new suspension parts... I'm after a pair of front struts. They'll be in good nick then?

They have a black ZT with what looks like green calipers on their Facebook page... is this the one with the better suspension?

I’m in Skelmersdale tomorrow, which is about 8 miles from St Helen’s. Don’t know when I’ll be in Brum again, though. I was there today.

Thanks for the offer, mate. I'm pressed for time and need it back on the road soon so I've bought Neil's units from that breaker to be couriered. Neil is of the opinion that they are a good used buy, not being that old, so that's at least reassuring when buying 'blind'.

The ZT-T will be going to the same place very soon (need space and to save marriage

Some very good kit fitted!
Happy motoring

Hi Neil,

Is the zt-t beyond repair? what sort of state is it in? is it available to buy?

Seems a shame if it's still viable as it sounds as if it was once loved.

Hi Neil. Is there any chance that this has Mk1 projector headlamps on? If it has I would be very interested. I can collect them.

Hi Folks,
The car (ZT-T) was certainly salvageable ! Gone this afternoon to the above salvage yard. Heated front windscreen ,S/S exhaust , Kaiser thermostat + many extras! If anyone buys the wheels I have a matching "spare" with a Rainsport 5 Tyre on that has never seen the road.
Spares (dmgrs upper arms, subframe, back plates etc)will be advertised within the next week or two.

Happy Rovering

Neil
