So I've just gotten restarted on my TR6 project, and ordered a bunch of 
stuff from TRF since they're having a sale.

Then I go searching through my garage to determine exactly what I do 
have. Kind of backwards, right?

Since I'm building the car on a Ratco frame with the rear tube shock 
option, I knew I had the shocks they provide for it on the shelf. 
However, It turns out I've already got som shocks for the front, when I 
order new from TRF. I don't know if Ratco provided them or I bought them 
sometime in the past, but the ones from TRF are much better.

So my question is, my TR3 could use a front end rebuild, but there are 
different part numbers for the TR4/5/250/6 shocks and the TR2/3 shocks, 
What's the difference? Would they fit?

It's not a big deal, if not, I'll just put them on EBay.
