Keoke - Thanks for the leads. I have passed the info on to my friend who is looking. Also told him to check into resleeving. Sierra Specialty Automotive was recommended. Anyone have them do resleeving work?

For some reason, VW buggy builders have been using these Girling MCs for years (and I also see them in Formula Vees).

I used them for rebuilding the front and rear shocks on my BJ7. They came back looking good and haven't leaked a drop in the several years that I used them before hibernation (car is going through restoration right now.)
