Any insights?
No insights for TRs Tony, but I can tell you the Spridget community has not
been happy with the tube shock conversions in the past. Without completely
re-engineering the suspension, you are just looking for new ways to break
things..in my opinion.
World Wide Auto, Peter is in charge, does a great rebuild on the Armstrong
shock, and even has competition valving and is working on a adjustable model.
Do a google, but if you can't find him, let me know and I'll dig up the
email and phone number.
I replaced all my MG Midget shocks with his re-builds and the results are
fantastic.
Folks who don't like lever shocks mostly only have a worn out set to
evaluate. They worked well when the car was new, new shocks can work well
again,
and you can do this for far less bucks and trouble that the tube shock
conversions.
