Rear Subframe

Postby wlynch » Mon Jan 25, 2016 9:22 pm

Hello Fellow Members,

I am in need of a garage in the Hampshire area to carryout mechanical work namely to replace rear sub frame mountings, rear discs, pads, calipers and handbrake adjusters.

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Regards,
Winston

Try Jestyn at Thruxton, he does good work (but not cheap!).

Hi Winston - I go to Hollygrove very regularly and they have helped me a lot over the years. They helped me with the rebuild of the rear axle on my V12 a few years ago and they're also working on my XKR at the moment.
I also found my Celebration through them and they helped me recommission it.
Last time I was in there a couple of weeks ago they were doing just the kind of work you're talking about on a E Type (which is essentially the same rear- end set up as ours).
They do know these cars inside out so you won't be paying extra time for somone who doesn't know what they're doing.
Hope that helps
Regards
David
