Hi Tim,
I took the plunge and joined- got a discount from the workshop as a sweetener which helped.
Had a good look at the ZT500 as it was being delivered back from Gaydon- what a beast of a car- shame about the fuel leak but that's from standing.
One warning from the workshop, and it was a surprise. The parking brake shoes for the ZT260 are now unavailable, but they can get our old items relined. It shouldn't be a big issue for us as we are not stopping in the linings, just holding
Regards
Paul
Is this the one Colin?

Paul,
There is a company that does produce the springs. The name escapes me just for the moment but it is well known in the trade. I met the MD at a trade fair about three years ago. At that time the fronts were in production and the rears nearly ready to be manufactured (it might be the other way round). The springs were manufactured in the Netherlands and if I come across the full details I'll let you know.
regards,
Kev
Paul,
Always had 5k on Conti's, but 7k on Avon ZZ3's. You'd think the Germans might know a thing or two about getting high mileage on ersatz rubber but apparently they don't. Still can't beat a Michelin for mileage (perhaps not road holding) but relatively expensive.
cheers,
Kev
