Bruce-
I bought a set of re-built fronts for my B. I got them through
Northwest Import - can't say I know their source. After two years and
more than 5000 miles I can say both are holding up micely. The only
complaint is that whoever did the re-build didn't paint the lever are
after sandblasting. When the shocks arrived, the paint on the shock
bodies matched the clean grey on the shack arms perfectly. Now the
shock arms are rusty. Structually not a problem, but ugly nonetheless.
