Apple Hydraulics Inc.
1610 Middle Rd.
Calverton, NY 11933
(800) 882-7753      (address and phone current as of 6-8-93)

New, rebuilt lever shocks for Healey, MG, Triumph, Jaguar, Morgan. We
can rebuild most any lever shock. Links & bushings available. Please
add $30.00 core charge per shock if old shock not sent with
order. $3.00 per shock for shipping. Free catalog available.  - Apple
Spridget lower A-arms- They braze on new bushings "Just like the
original".  They were somewhere from $50-100, or they will rebuild
yours.  Apple Hydraulics will also rebuild SUs and Strombergs (around
$375 the pair) including flow bench testing (presumably for
leaks). They'll just re-bush the throttle shafts for something less
than that. - Chris Kent Kantarjiev <cak@parc.xerox.com>

Spoke with them about rebuilding Z-S carbs.  They manufacture a lot of
the parts no longer available like jets and needles, so they do a
complete job on them.  Since I'm in CA, they'll install emission
needles to pass smog, but send an extra set of earlier needles for
better performance.  The price for a pair of carbs is $375 in July
(93).  They also do master/slave/wheel cylinder sleeving at
$60/sleeve.They also rebuild lever shocks, kingpins, control arms and
heads and sleeve master/slave/wheel cylinders.  They will also just
re-bush and replace throttle shafts at $45/carb. They have a small
catalog - GENDIMEN@T12SYS.intel.com

I have been happy with their service.  On my Austin-Healey, they
re-bushed and align-bored the spindles.  Very nice, and very quick.  I
also sent them the two front lever shocks from the A-H for rebuilding.
When I got them back, there was a note included that one of the shocks
I sent was incorrect for the 100 (I hadn't even looked carefully, much
less noticed).  They had substituted another core from their stock and
sent me two correct rebuilts.  No extra charge, as I remember.  Nice
service, in my book. - Jim Beckman jeb@mtgbcs.att.com
