[Healeys] relacement shock absorbers

[Dave Russell]

When I had Peter rebuild my shocks several years ago I kept my originals 
& paid the core charges.

I was was very pleasantly surprised when the rebuilts came back with 
steel inserts firmly pressed into the apparently previously worn 
mounting holes. I consider this an improvement which I would do on any 
future rebuilds. Much more solid mount than bolting through the soft 
aluminum ears. The aluminum only has to compress a thousandth or two to 
release bolt tension & make the mount loose. Combined with hardened 
washers under the bolt heads, there has been no sign of mount loosening 
since.
