Out of curiosity, I checked with Repco for the Australian availability of
Hillman/Alpine shocks. They still list a front shock but it is not held in
stock
- it's a special order from Monroe. Its oil filled and is priced at Aus$68.00
each! That would make it worthwhile for Aussie listers to order the shocks that
Jan found from America.
