Again thanks for the information but I did not want to mount the shocks and find out they were not up to standards. The two alternatives for series 3 are Spax and Gaz shocks. I have had no experience with these. The ones I have are original Girlings. Thanks for any comments. Best Regards

Bob thanks again great information..I guess my engine is much earlier so I don't need the mount bracket? The suffix on mine LA confuses me. I am assuming that the break off nos. 14001 is much later than my 9385? Am i correct in assuming this? Best Regards Robert

Bob thanks for the information...My gearbox # is KL-4437. Will I need the bracket? Do you know or is there a picture in a shop manual? My car #UDIS22206. My engine #7S-9385 LA.
