Do these comments against tube shocks only apply to the front suspension or to
the rear as well? I
put tube shocks on the rear of my MGB and they seemed fine. I would agree that
the tube shocks I
have seen for the front seem to be a cobbled up mess. I would never use them.
I have a TR250 and a TR6 as well as a couple of MGBs. I would not use tube
shocks on the rears of
the Triumphs. I'll keep the levers. The fronts were stock with tubes.
