John: You are correct, from 1971 to 1975, the works installed TAG Heuer rally clocks in certain special cars, including all the period Miura SVJs and several LP400s. I have those same rally clocks in my LP400.
Was it TAG Heuer or just Heuer? As far as I know, the two names were joined when Heuer was sold to Technique d'Avant Garde in 1985.
The correct term is definatly 'Heuer' as stated that the TAG prefix was not added to their products before 1985. Awesome chronos BTW and I know that they are scary expensive especially NOS.
To "All" involved...Truly enjoyable reading. FerrariChat at it's "BEST"!!!. I thought for a moment things were going to turn "ULGY"!!!, when politics became involved. Thanks for keeping it about things that we can "ALL"!!! appreciate. A young successful man living the American Dream (John), beautiful Cars, Woman, Watches, Engaging Stories, and a mutual admiration for Things that make life worth living.....My "BEST" to "ALL".....Mark.
So true!!! More car guy's like the people in here are needed. Kinda sad to see many successful people not saving a Lamborghini or two from some rapper dancing on it. Car's like this are meant to be in the hands of guys like Jhon and others in this forum.

Very nice, is it being restored again ? I spied what looks to be a non-original part. The original brackets are a rather flimsy casting. I machined one like yours out of billet 7075 aluminum for #4776 a few years back. Image Unavailable, Please Login
After driving it on an off for a while, I decided to restore it again, bringing it back up to 100 points.

Faberge's got nothing on you there. I see a "ride height" spacer under the coil spring as well. Another "field modification" that I've also done. I make mine out of Delrin rather than aluminum. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not really a big deal. There are a couple of possibilities. The springs lose their tension a bit over time and the car sits lower (plenty of those out there). The brand-new original springs might make the car sit lower than you would prefer. If you have a steep driveway you might want just a little more clearance. The Koni shocks used on the Miura are non-adjustable for ride height so the solution is to insert a spacer to get it up where you want it. The thicker the spacer the more lift. The early Countach has adjustable spring perches so you can raise or lower the car by turning some ring-nuts. I've always thought that the Shah's car had a nice aggressive stance. If that's the way it was when Joe owned it, I wouldn't change it.
