The original damper unit is replaced with our new upper wishbone and enables the vertical positioning of an adjustable telescopic damper.

On a drive back from York, the passenger side lever arm damper came a bit loose, resulting in the car being undriveable over 40mph. We took the arm off the damper a LOT of effort and popped some spacers in to stop it wobbling so fearsomely. This worked really very well, taking some of the load off the top link and resulting in much more controllable damping at the front end. It uses a mini track rod end and part of a steering rack as an extra link to triangulate the top control arm, and a large strong bracket that bolts to the top of the lever arm, and to the inner wing where the telescopic damper bolts through. If I was doing this again, I would build the plate under the damper, giving a sneaky portion of negative camber.

The first version, announced at the end of June , [3] was essentially a slightly more expensive badge-engineered version of the MkII Austin-Healey Sprite deluxe version. The original 'frogeye' Sprite had been introduced specifically to fill the gap in the market left by the end of production of the MG T-type Midget as its replacement, the MGA had been a significantly larger and more expensive car with greater performance. Many existing MG buyers turned to the Sprite to provide a modern low-cost sports car and so a badge-engineered MG version reusing the Midget name made sense.
