Seen here the Fraser replica front suspension was being assembled on the bench.
The lock tab on the two large bolts is still to be fitted and to be folded over the bolt heads. The two square plates with the threaded studs are the front spring top mounts. The studs go through the underside of the front wings, a second fixing can just be seen as a bolt, two of which pass through the side of the wheel arch.

The parts have all been bead blasted,serviced an painted and are really as close to new as we can make them.
Note that Rootes Scotland used special quality hi tensile bolts on the Imps front and rear suspension, they may be marked on the head of the bolt with the word 'Auto', keep them in a safe place, they can not be easily replaced.
Note that there are at least two pick up plates or boxes, this is the later Mk2 version.
Assembly with spotless parts is a real pleasure!
