[TR] TR4 rear dampers

[Rye Livingston]

If that doesn’t get the ride you want, also via World Wide Imports and Peter Caldwell, I bought adjustable lever shocks for my TR3. so you can adjust your ride.

Referring to Barney Gaylord’s page https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/suspensn/fs110.htm <https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/suspensn/fs110.htm>  the standard weight oil is about 20W or ISO 68 (Peter Caldwell World Wide Imports). Hydraulic jack oil ISO 32 is 10W and fully compatible. I will call World Wide tomorrow for clarification. Has anyone tried this?
