TR5/TR250 Answering My Own Question Rear Tube Shock Conversion Numbers TR4a-TR6

Was going to post the question what are the shock numbers if you have the rear shock conversion brackets that bolt to the lever shock mounts, but got somewhere on my own. A common car that uses the same shock is the Volvo 122 and 1800, so that helps find the part numbers.

Gabriel 82026
KYB KG5514 (Gas Adjust Performance, Monotube)
KYB 343137 (Excel G, Twin Tube)
Bilstein B6 24-002837
Koni 801319
Spax G233

I am 98% sure these are right, but hard to know absolutely without ordering the part.

Reason I am looking is I was thinking of upgrading from the supplied KYBs to Koni or Bilstein. I have Koni on front so will probably go that route. Mammoth Racing seems to have the best deal, never heard of them but initial research points to them being legitimate.

Intrigued by the fully externally adjustable Spax dampers too, it they are a little harder to find this side of the pond.
