[Healeys] 100 Girling shocks

[Rich C]

Peter,

The only Girling shocks I have ever personally seen are on the first 
production car, BN1L 138031. They have quite different bodies with a big 
round cap on the top. I have heard of a few other very early cars having 
them, but no pattern has been able to be substantiated as yet. The Spare 
parts List does not refer to anything other than the Armstrong shock. Of 
course 55 years after the fact, many have likey been traded out for the 
Armstrong replacements.
If anybody can send me the feedback about your car being fitted with Girling 
shocks, please respond with chassis and body number and build date if 
possible and maybe we can document this on the Hundred Registry. I can let 
you all know of any pattern that develops.
