You can get new shocks for about $150 each, at Proper MG in MA, USA
(I'm sure there are many other sources). I had changed the front
shocks, on my 75 B, three times, in 20,000 miles, using rebuilt shocks
before I finally went the new route. You will hear alot of "success
stories" about rebuilt shocks on this list but most come from the 1,200
miles a year drivers. If you listen to the 5,000 + annual milagers you
will buy new. I believe that going rate on the rebuilt are $60 w/
exchange of your old ones.
I just noticed that Moss has Rear shocks (new) for $103.25 each. I also
see that it said for 62-74 / I did not think that the rear shocks are
different on Rubber Bumper cars. Victoria British shows one # for
62-80.
Safety Fast,
