Hi all, I converted my Mk2 Sprite to tubular shocks back in 1988-89 and
I've been very pleased with the change. The tubes certainly have been
less troublesome for me than the stock shocks. The kit came from FASPEC
British Cars in Oregon. I haven't heard anything about them in several
years, but there are probably other suppliers since then, i.e.,
Minimania, Winners Circle, etc.. The front tube conversion on my big
Healey came from JC Whitney so you might want to look into that.

Subject: Rebuilts vs tube shock conversion
Is this in the digest? One doesn't always take an
interest until his CAR brings the subject up. I go over
a wierdness in the road and the MG (71) goes all
flingy-flongy. Otherwise a wonderful twitchy wee
sports car. What're we lookin at cost wise?
Does somebody do an exchange deal on levers?
I still gotta pay for my brake m/cyl!
