TR6 New Moss [UK] front stub axles and bearings kit TR

[mesquiteflat]

Gents and Ladies,

I just purchased the new Moss UK stub axle kit
https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=21559, part number TT3170. I am waiting for the shipment, as they are back-ordered. I will post info after I receive the kit. I believe it is the same set-up as listed on the BP Northwest website.

Our cousins across the ocean get much better kit from Moss. If you order from Moss UK, request the UK catalog as it has a lot of info on performance upgrades as well as general anecdotal info for our cars. I just received their rear tube shock mounts, sourced from Bastuck in Germany, which have TUV acceptance. They are very well constructed and have a second mount point as compared to the typical KYB kit. BTW has anyone installed the British Parts Northwest kit stub axle kit? Merry Christmas.

I have one installed in my TR3A. I can't remember where it came from Rimmer , MOSS, or BPNW. I buy from all three. I also have the tube shock kit, very nice improvement in ride!

Lots of the UK guys favour this:

I have no financial interest and usually go with Moss. But Rev often has top quality stuff thats a bit different.

After reading this. I printed out the MOS UK complete catalog the other day. You're right they have much more than here in the US. One thing I noticed is they sell a fiberglass reproduction of the 2 piece hard top. Surry Top. The rear window is available in clear glass, tinted glass, with or without a defroster. Also availeble in plastic.
The rear shock mounts you bought appear to be mush better than what is offered in the US through Moss or others. I think the ones you bought are the ones in Roger Williams restoration or improvement book. The most obvious difference being the extra vertical support under the bend in the upright. I've wondered where these came from. Now I know.
If you don't mind would you post your impressions and findings after you install the brackets? I may buy a set. My TR6 runs the factory springs but I have 6" wide Minitar wheels with 215/65/15 tires. I'm not sure if the wheel and tire combination will work with thise brackets.
