Hello List,
     I've been on the list for about 2 weeks and I'm really enjoying it.
At the risk of offending those who believe in keeping their cars absolutely 
stock, I'm considering a tube shock conversion for my TR6.  My lever shocks 
are shot.  I've tried to revive them and haven't been successful.  The local 
Moss distributor says they won't sell rebuilt ones because they fail rapidly 
(maybe they also make a lot more money on new ones).  There seem to be 3 
basic designs of these conversions:  1 has a 3 piece bracket (Vic. Brit and 
Moss), and 1 of them from Vic. Brit. has a 1 piece bracket.  This latter kit 
comes with KYB shocks and the others are available with Koni, Spax or 
Monroe.  Has anyone tried one of these kits?
