I would like to fit modern hydraulic shock absorbers to the rear of my 32 Minor. I have seen a couple which have had this done but never took much notice at the time as to what type the were. Has anyone done this and what type did they use. Regards to you all. Mike .P.S It has been suggested to me that Fiat 600 type may do.

Hi Mike, nice to see you on the forum :D . Hope the cars coming along well. I have the remains of a special built on a lwb chassis
in the 50's. It had luvax? type shocks on it, the 8 type common to lots of vehicles where there is a fixed resevoir and a link arm. Though these aren't bang up to date they are a giant leap forward from our rather primitive types! I think I have some of these somewhere and I believe they are easier to have reconditioned. What type do you have? If you want to part with them I would be interested as none of my minors have the same shocks on them :lol: Toby
