Tom Greer,
I've used Apple Hydraulics 1-800-882-7753 to rebuild the knee shocks on an
austin healey. I am pleased with the result. They have a deluxe rebuild
where they use heavy duty valves, so you can spend more money, and feel
better about yourself (I know I did).
I have a 1950 1-ton, and I wish that I had knee shocks, but I have the
modern kind. I have an unfounded suspicion that the reason industry
switched types is because of costs, not performance.
