Tom Bryant up here in Maine rebuilds and rebushes SU's for $130/pair. That
includes all parts, new throttle shafts and some very trick bushings that
he developed. He is primarily an old Volvo guy, but he will rebuild any SU.
I can dig up his address if anyone is interested.
I am a VERY satisfied customer, he did my HS2's last spring. Given that the
various parts alone are near $100 from the usual suspects, I think this
counts as a bargain.
