That's the place. You probably need to call / e-mail to inquire
about the adjustable version. I've got a set on my race
TR-4.<br><br>

I assume this is the damper and company you're referring-to:<br><br>

<dd>Hi,<br><br>
<br>
<dd>I didn't see any responses to your query, so, here goes.<br><br>
<dd>I've done a number of installs with the Apple HD option. For light
duty, the upgrade is okay. Note that the shocks lubricate via the shaft,
so the shocks will leak and you need to fill them from time to time. I
have PLENTY of shock fluid, if you want some. As far as ride, it's firm,
but for my cars I run stiffer springs and the heavy shock action is
needed. But Triumphs tend to ride firm anyway.<br><br>
<dd>If anyone ever wants an explanation of how and why you should upgrade
shocks, I'd be more than happy to explain.<br><br>
<dd>Some time ago, I wound up contacting a different vendor in WI that
rebuilds Armstrongs. These folks use a modern seal on the shaft and they
don't leak! They offer various upgrades, I have become a big fan of the
externally adjustable upgrade because RACECAR, but you can make them as
soft of stiff as you like.<br><br>
<dd>It's been a few years, but the vendor is WorldWide Auto Parts,

<dd>Â <br>
<dd>Hey all ~<br><br>
<dd>I note that Apply Hydraulics offers to rebuild TR3 shocks with a $10
<br>
<dd>extra charge for the heavy duty" option with "larger bronze
bushing <br>
<dd>where main shaft rides. Shock valving is upgraded, 15% stiffer than
<br>
<dd>standard shock."<br><br>
<dd>Anyone opted for the heavy duty option? It's not the nominal extra
cost <br>
<dd>that concerns me -- it's the extra stiffness I'm wondering about....
<br><br>
<dd>Comments anyone who's BTDT?<br><br>
<dd>TIA,<br><br>
<dd>Dave Friedlander<br>
