Small world, I installed a pair of Spax shocks on my TR3B last week, and
ran into the same thing. I used the rubber supplied by Spax on the bottom
of the shock tower with both metal cup washers, and on top of the shock
tower I reused the rubber and the top washer from my original Armstrong
Blue's. Worked fine, as far as I can tell.
BTW, the difference the shocks made for me was night and day. It is as if I
am driving a new car. The nasty oversteer is all but gone, and the car is
much more confidence inspiring to drive. I only hope Mr. Police Man will
understand! ;-)
BTW again, I was running a stock pair of Armstrong Blues, with a date code
of 1962 on my 1962 TR3B. I think they performed pretty good for being 36
years old!
