Finished re-vamping this old shock. Looked pretty scabby when it first arrived, leaking oil and covered in corrosion on the steel body. A service from my local suspension guru sorted the leaky seals and grotty chrome. 20 mins with a scotch pad, some laquer and a new sticker.... Job done. Quality bouncy parts at reasonable price. Happy boy.... Looks good as new too !!!

Where'd you get it serviced at mate?  Got one of these that needs a refresh and that looks like new.

Loving the build, by the way...

Found a guy down in Dorset... Does race suspension. I'll post his details up when I find them. Was about £130 all in...

It's the MAG gathering in Salisbury this Sunday, so thought I'd sort out a seat unit of sorts to use while I'm waiting on my body work ti arrive...

The plastics I have are a tad scabby Si time ti make them half decent. A few hours later and they've got a couple of coats of Satin Black !!!

Fired the old girl up today too, to make sure everything was ok, the TLR clutch pushrod has some excessive wear so the interference fit is way out and the pushrod seal is weeping a tad...

A new seal and rod is already on It's way !

 

Shakedown run tomorrow !!!
