Top ones are Transit Drag Link, freely available on E-Bay.    Bottom ones are Peugeot,  QH part QSJ972 or QSJ972S (http://www.eurocarparts.com/search/617545005)

I've attached a spreadsheet that covers all the parts we have figured out so far.

many thanks alanrichy for your help

[alanrichey]

No problem.  we have enough information on the Superspec to write a book so don't hesitate to ask if something isn't clear.   I would also suggest you read my blog (link in the signature) which details everything I have done in the 6 years I have had mine, much of which is fixing design faults.

Al, I have a new pair of bottom ball joints with a thread of around 38mm, are these Superspec ones?

[alanrichey]

No idea, I have never had to change mine so don't know what the thread is.   This what they look like

[Peter Bell]

They do look like that! thanks

If they are of use to anyone let me know.

William:    If you let me know your engine number (it's on the V5) I can tell you what Rover model the engine was originally destined for.  Makes ordering spares a lot easier.

A very good point.   Before posting a question you really should do a search to see if the answer has been given before (90% chance it has ).    You have to be specific though, if you just search for Superspec then you get 2000 posts.   If you search for Superspec clutch you get 5,600.  But if you search for "Superspec clutch" (Note the inverted commas" you will get 21 posts all of which are essential reading.

hi  al,    my engine no not in v5  looked but to awk to get at and to old to be lyin on floors,,,,,,anyway i,ve got the other stuff to be going on with

[alanrichey]

No problem.   A bit surprising though, I thought all V5s had to have the engine numbers recorded.

Mines not on logbook its got the gearbox caseing number instead
