MG MGA - Damper Unit Refurb

Looking to refurbish Hydraulic Damper units from and rear plus the dual master cylinder as par of a rebuild on a 1958 MGA. Have read a number of threads about poor exchange and refurb units , can anyone recommend a good company in the UK for refurb or replacements which will work with silicone hydraulic fluid .

P D, there is a store on E-Bay that sells refurbshed front and rear shocks for the MGA. They are around $90.00 US. The company is "World Wide Import Auto Parts". I purchased shocks form them and have been very satisfied with there performance so far (been on the car for over a year and about 10K miles). They garauntee there rebuilds, mine came with a life time warranty at the time I purchased them. Although they don't state that in there add on e-bay, you may want to confirm that with them. Hope this helps....Norm


to locate them in e-bay;
type "lever shocks" in the search bar, use the drop down to locate "ebaymotors" click search. The shocks will be at the bottom of the page.

Another plug for World Wide shock rebuilding. As I remember from a previous thread they have updated the seal design on the shocks which is why they can offer the lifetime guarantee. I remember a writeup on their shock rebuilding but cannot find a link to it at the moment.

Check out their site at http://www.nosimport.com/? and follow the links for Remanufactured Lever Shocks.
