How about part numbers for shocks??

How about part numbers for shocks??

2006-03-24 by Mike Sullivan

My 85 Marcos Mantula 3.5V8 EFI has only 10K miles
therefor the springs are good but I need a model
number for either a set of on the car adjustable
Koni's or Spax.

Currently the rear shocks are Koni 2091's Heavy turn
(only adjustable with the springs off).  They are
height adjustable.

Do you have IRS rear end or "live" axle??  I believe the dampers are 
different.  Some of the UK folk use GAZ shocks also.

Mike,

I don't know if you'll find Spax to fit the Marcos "out of the box".  
I use AVO adjustables (www.avouk.com)on mine and am quite satisfied.

Look at the threads on the Marcos Enthusiasts Board under Mantula:
http://p206.ezboard.com/fmarcossportscarenthusiastsfrm5  

Lots of stuff on suspension and shocks.
