"...wasn't engineered for it" is a pretty vague reason... I mean, most MGs weren't engineered for radial tires, either, but that doesn't stop folks from fitting them, and for good reasons. That said,

... and this is the problem. People normally see a big improvement - but only over shocks that were pretty broken to start with. For any real comparison they would need to seriously try levers in as-

I've had both tube and lever. For daily driving, even spirited driving, the originals rebuilt are safer and just as good as tube. Have you really looked how the tube shocks are engineered for these

Ok, I tore the front sway bar out - but at least that wasn't the lever-arm shocks that broke :-) Eric '68MGB MkII Adelaide, South Australia

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 hav

Hmmm, sorry to have got you riled up. But since the conversion kits (or at least the one I have) use the EXACT SAME MOUNTING POINTS and apply the stresses to the exact same section of the unibody and

My '69 B has tube shocks in front. Not my idea, I bought the car used and they were already on it. In my setup there's a shock tower bolted on top of the lever shock. The bolts go through the lever s
