One of my 'reconditioned' dampers on the '71 Midget from Moss lasted about
20 miles before spilling its guts. They replaced it with no questions asked
- still fine 3000 miles later.
I gather with reconditioned shocks it really is pot luck because they by now
will have been rebuilt many times over. Of course you can buy them new for
about 3 to 4 times the price of reconditioned. In the UK the MGOC Spares and
Moss are about the same price wise........which isn't probably much use to
you;-)
