Can these subframes be used in the ZTs? Pardon my ignorance.

I'm sure they can, the only difference I believe is some bushes are firmer.

I contacted Leo. He said, "Unfortunately all the QTY has been ordered by XPART and no more left".
I've asked him if they plan to manufacture more. |

X-Part is what remains of MG Rover. PVH sold off the parts division before MGR went into administration.

well, followed this for a bit, waiting to see the outcome, but nothing as yet. My original timescale was for the summer 2018 to refurb the rear subframe and suspension. Gathering up the bits and pieces from when I found out how susceptible they are to rot and how rare they are. I already have upper and lower arms in the attic, along with some bushes etc. Even have a used subframe, now in the shed awaiting refurbing.
The MOT is due soon, and worrying about a mark I noticed during the summer in the arm, that may or may not be a hole. Not having time to check it, and forgetting about it due to other circumstances. I dont want to fit one (or both) of the new arms, and then next year do the refurb, so I contacted Leo. (thanks Pete - I have seen the Fiacom site before, but always assumed they would be bulk orders). I recently came into some cash, (thank you granny - I hope you like what I got - she always loved my cars - I am still maintaining her last car, now my mother's) Anyway, I couldnt wait, and feared failing the MOT, without at least being prepared to do something about it. So bit the bullet and ordered one on the 13th September. Working late tonight, and arriving home, a huge very heavy box was waiting on me. That is 8 days! Being loaded with man flu, and a busier longer day than normal, I dont have the energy to take it out of the box and take pictures (likely not get them til saturday - but have one of my granny just after her dementia diagnosis, instead ). One thing I would say, I would have preferred to obtain it more locally, or at least in the UK (ie DMGRS etc). Whilst his prices cannot compare to some of Fiacom, remember the most important thing, he deals with the problems. No sending back to the other side of the world. That's what he and other Xpart guys do, so well. Also, there is the potential issue of import duty. I dont know yet, but I am expecting a bill for VAT and duty lol.
