Walter, Look in the "Special Files" section and there is an article titled "Luvax Girling Rebuild" by Terrance J. Van Parys. A very good article including photos. John Libbert J2 3118 TC 2138

Hello to all, I have started to rebuild a set of shock absorbers. The information on the tabc web site has been very helpful. The freeze plugs have been removed and one arm has been removed from the shock body in my vise. Three more are waiting (soaking in WD40). Today, I called All Seals and ordered seals at $3.20 each. The minimum credit card order was $50. so I ordered 16 seals. There should be 8 left over. I am missing a short link and I am hoping that someone on the list will have one available. Please, let me know. Also two of the shock absorbers have arms that are angled to the link end of the arm. The other two are angled at the shock pivot end and have much more of a bend going to the link end. Is this a problem? Which end do the long links and the short links go --the front or the back? After this project is over there will be some extra parts available. one shock absorber one long link eight shock seals Thanks for any help or advise, Ron Oldfield TC 8343 New York [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
