I might be wrong but I don't think that is a sliding pillar setup.

sorry jumped the gun a bit didn't read the post correctly.

Unless I am mistaken that is a zimeride (did I spell that right?) which were a robin hood modification of shock fitted to rubber suspension minis (British Leyland version not BMW version)

Why there is a double spring fitted I dont know but it appears strange.

As for sliding pillar I understand that they were stripped out of the doner front struts, I think that there are Utube 2B build videos showing how to do this allong with all the rest of the build. Richard S certainly did everything he could to keep build costs down.

Most 2Bs had (or ended up with) coil overs on the rear.  GBS still do the adapters that go in the bottom of the roll bar tube and Gaz coil-overs.

A few years ago I contacted them and they were happy to sell me just the rear pair of coil-overs when one of mine had sprung a leak.  I don't know if they would still do that.
