[Healeys] 100 Girling shocks

[Charlie Baldwin]

Peter,
MG started using Armstrong shocks in '52 and modified the inner part of 
the fender (not an inner fender like a Healey has) to supposedly 
accommodate them.  I recently sold a '51 that I believe had Armstrong on 
it and they appeared to fit fine.  I've currently got a '53 that has one 
of each, and with the two car package that I bought (the '51 & '53), 
there was an extra Girling, so we kept it for the '53.
I think that MG used either that was available later in production 
starting production with the Girlings.
I can check about change points, etc., but in any case it was way before 
1955.
That could lend credence to Austin-Healey not using Girlings in 
production, except for what Rich has said.
