Hi
I have a pair of Girling shocks that I thought was for a TC. However the distance between the mounting bolt centers is 2 1/2". I think it should be about 4 1/4". Could these shocks be from a early TD and not the TC?
Thanks

TD shocks are not anything like TC shocks

Dennis,
I remember a pair of the same dampers for sale on e-Bay a few months
back. These were the rear shocks for the Y-Types, 2.5" centers between the
mounting holes.

Hello all,
I have been out of town for about ten days and am now looking at hundreds
of emails...would the folks who contacted me off list please try again in
case I delete by accident. I have a full set of TA shocks for sale and a set
of TC shocks also. The TA ones are new from the UK and the TC ones were
rebuilt. TA ones have original arms and links and the TC ones have arms
only. Contact me off list if you need them. Ebay will be next unless some
one needs these.
Cheers,
John

I am in the process of refurnishing the shock absorbers on my TC.
Following the advice of Van Parys and Irwin from the MG-TABC web site, I
have dismantled all the main parts, but have run into the following
problems. Some of the spring clips holding the two pistons together have
broken in place. Does anyone know a source to replace these spring clips?
I removed the flat steel spring which holds the valve on the face of the
piston and removed this valve. These parts were dirty and it was neccesary
to brush them with a small wire brush to remove the residue. I found a copy
of an article which has a diagram of this assembly and I note that there are
a series of discs behind the purferrated face of the piston. From the
diagram it appears that this assembly should be removable out of the face of
the piston. I wanted to remove all these parts and clean them, but they
don't want to move. Does anyone know how to take them apart?

Hey Bud:
RE:
>The current thing I am
looking at is my shocks. When my car hits a bump in the road the front end
bounces up and down quite a lot. I removed a plug from the top of one of my
front shocks. Is this where you check the oil? Is there supposed to be oil
in there. I put a small drill bit into the hole to see if there was any oil
in there and there was not a drop. Should there have been?http://www.mg-tabc.org/)
Click on TECHNOLOGY......... go to CHASSIS/BODY and find two excellent
articles on Luvax/Girling damper rebuilding. There's enuff damper skinny
here fer U to decide whether you'd like to give it a shot yerself (it's NOT
brain surgery), or farm it out.............. TRY it, you might like
it...........

I am contemplating the rebuild of the TC's shocks this winter and after
reading the rebuild article in the archives I would like to know if anyone has
purchased shaft seals of late and if so where did you get them and the part
numbers. If I remember correctly there was some discussion on the proper oil to
use in these and would like to hear about that also.
This time I will hard copy the info and file with my other T-abc items of
interest.

Federal Mogul #340413. You need 2 for each side. Google it and there are
several places that sell them. Good luck.

Anyone looking to source TC Luvax shocks should scout around for shocks off of a '46-'48 Woolsey. Suppose to be same as used on TC. Just to retrofit TC arms to be same.
