Hello, Does anyone know where I can get replacement shock absorbers and springs for a 1973 Sprite Alpine. I have heard that the Triumph Herald/Spitfire was the same, but having got a pair, they are a bit bigger. The Sprite Alpine springs are only 65mm in diameter and approximately 207mm when fitted on the shock.

Thanks

I do believe that MGF front shockers are a fit
there was a chassis on ebay last week but not flagged as a sprite one
