TR Register Forum

My shocks leak oil badly.Does anyone know where I can have them repaired or where I can find the info to repair myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

Tricky. The shocks were never meant to be reconditioned, particularly at home; just buy new ones. The Register stocks new though there have been some problems. SG leslie in Melbourne will recondition at a cost. Beyond that NOS Imports in the USA have been used by a couple of members and they are happy. There is also Apple Hydraulics in the USA. They don't come cheap.

I have had three of the new Register shocks fail on me. Two catastrophically at speed on bumps and one that started leaking badly despite it never having been installed.
As Terry says the original ones can be overhauled, I can't recall who does them. I believe the Register ones cannot be repaired.

Thanks guys I'll try a few of those leads

Talk to Ian Wall who has recently gone the USA route.

Hi Stuart
I got mine adjustable competition lever arm rear shocks from NOS Imports in the US. I am very happy with them so far. Cost was $650 delivered to my home. You can send the old ones over to them for a discount. but the postage makes it not worth doing that.

I had my rear shocks reconditioned by SG Leslie a couple of years ago and am happy with the result...

I had mine done in 1985 at WW shocks.
Apart from general maintenance they are still working, no leaks.
W.W. are still alive and will quote a price/time on the phone.

No need to export Australian dollars or buy reproduction crap.

SPORTSPARTS do reco ones at "200 ea, changeover.. He is basically an MG guy but the shocks are very simular. Dont see any reason why he cant do TR ones.
