- My 74 Midget, that I am rebuilding, has the tube shock conversion. The orignal shockes don't seem to leak but the valve has been removed. The cap and spring, of each shock, is still there. Is there a

- Umm, they're probably not leaking because, with the valve removed, there is no pressure <g>. Why do you think the PO went with the tube shocks? I think you can assume that if you replaced the valve,
