[TR] Woodhead Front Shocks for TR6

[Michael Marr]

Looks like Woodhead is still araound as part of the ever-expanding (and 
always surprising) Thyssen-Krupp empire:

I seem to recall that, back in the 60s when I still lived in England, 
Woodhead were looked upon as an upgrade over the standard Armstrongs, but I 
could be wrong on that count.
