Additional shock information which may help.
The front Armstrong shock I have has these dimensions:
Compressed length, standing upright to the top of the threads = 11"
Extended length = 15"
Barrel diameter = 1.875"
Just the barrel length = 7"
Anyone have an original Armstrong rear shock to check the dimensions?
I also put together some other information:
MANUFACTURED BY WOODHEAD
NEW IN ORIGINAL MOPAR BOX
MOPAR PART NO : 5221220
MONROE PART NO : 7008
ARMSTRONG PART NO : 62 2270
WOODHEAD PART NO : 1236773 FO 6985
The above information is from an EBay auction for a S III rear shock. I can
not confirm the Mopar # which should be the same as the Rootes part number.
Rootes Parts list information;

Now that I have everyone's attention, ;-), what brand of shocks did the
Tiger have originally. Were they Armstrong? I've seen some Woodhead units
on Ebay but the name just didn't sound right to me. Can someone enlighten
me?
Thanks,
