[/quote]Wolfgang, if you want real shock absorption on your TA, you would be better
off fitting Andre Hartford friction shocks from Sports and Vintage Motors.
These are period correct and work much better than the original Luvax. This
is what I have on my TA. However if you want the originals, they are very
difficult to find but I have heard that someone is reproducing them now.
Graham Brown would know if anyone does as he rebuilds the Luvaxs.

Interesting is that Luvax P6 double acting piston type shockers were
available as a racing option from the factory. I believe these looked a lot
like the TC shocks but maybe someone on the list knows for sure.
