I start to replace the back site with an o-ring and plate as well the bore with a bush.
The housing is on my milling machine , took me one hour to level it.

Armstrong damper are available as refurbished at almost every Healey dealer for some bugs by sending back the old ones.

But now the fresh and clean oil rinse out of the shaft. Question: how to get out the shaft?
Part number: front Shock absorber with arm (Armstrong) 3H1707 (or 3H1124)

In this barn I saw an A90 Atlantic for the first time. I didn’t really notice the true condition for joy and excitement, so I bought the A90 in January 2000 and shipped it to Germany. Yes, and since then I have been dealing with the A90 Atlantic…
