The MK10 version is a Budget version to combat globally rising prices. This kit is made using zinc plated steel (NOT stainless steel as MK9) This is more suited for countries that don't suffer from the corrosive salt used on UK roads.
The turrets have a fixed shock mount as did the earlier versions ,it still has the adjustable camber and uses the same GAZ shocks/springs as the MK9.
You can order without the pivots/seals/end plates if yours are in good condition..CHECK first before placing your order.
ONLY 10 sets made ...4 sold. 6 available.
These should be available for dispatch Mid April 2024 awaiting Gaz shocks. Remember these are all individually built to order that is why there is a lead time.
If you think the MGF was designed to have hydragas then read this extract from MG Enthusiast magazine interview with Gerry McGovern "
Recent, Feb 2020, MG Enthusiast interview with Gerry McGovern OBE chief designer at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), who was part of the original design team, says 'The hydragas was frustrating from a design perspective because it created so much variance in the vehicle's ride height which meant you saw a lot of MG's with a 4x4 stance..in hindsight things that should have been done differently.. bigger budget and...not using hydragas suspension ..'
So there you have it from the horse's mouth so to speak..the car was fundamentally flawed from a suspension point of view and would have probably had a conventional coil over set up if the budget was available.The MGF was not 'designed' to have hydragas it got it by default! Cars that were 'designed' to have hydragas were the Allegro and the Metro as well as other Austin Rover cars of that bygone era of the '70's and it worked well for these cars but not a sportscar made in the '90's . Well, dreams can come true with the FCCKit!! You can now also upgrade your Metro Mk1 and MK2 with similar recently developed kits.
Please note these kits are fully developed with over 7 years in production (2017) and when compared to coil in a a can (CIAC) systems these kits replace all the moving suspension parts (not ball joints) so you are not fitting new to old components. eg top arms,knuckle joints etc. The cost for a CIAC system is invariably more if you replace all the parts that are supplied in the FCCKits and the loads are not transferred into the weak areas of the body shell but are supported by the subframe as the later MGTF system.

Please check your countries regulations about using a different suspension as this can vary considerably due to local regulations. EG. New Zealand,Germany..
