View Full Version : Different Beta Springpans on same model ?

I've found a couple of Beta Springs and springpans. But the pans are accordingly to the seller different. They look different and have different fastening patterns.
Both are supposedly from a Beta Coupe.

Were they different on different year models ? Is there anywhere one can see pictures of what they are supposed to look like? Then I could send the seller images of correct ones for him to compare as well.

Regards,

Most people fit aftermarket kit now. You may find that a 164 v6 in the back is too much for the beta struts.

Hi !

Yes, I'm not using the Beta Springs either. But as I understood it from the build manual - you need the spring pans anyhow.
And the seller sells springs and pans complete toghether.

i wouldn't use any part of the beta struts.

contact Bernard to see who made his new rear struts.
Spherical bearing top mounts are available from Compbrake.

I bought mine from compbrake. They have supplied to Gerry in the past and they're quality...This also means you are going for the larger diameter springs!

There was a great cartoon in the VSCC bulletin.
It shows a man on his knees in the garden doing some weeding, and his wife leaning out of the upstairs windows, pointing to the project car in the garage, telling him to "stop messing around in the garden and get some work done on that car!"
