Is THE lever shock rebuilder for most suppliers.
He can advise on up rated shock valves, adjustable lever shocks, and any thing you want to know about levers, he can answer.
I have been to his shop many times. I watched him rebuild several shocks, I attended a couple of his tech sessions.
And he can spot a rotten apple from across the room! I walked in with a shock from my Austin A40 and he knew from 20' away that is was an apple rebuilt unit. It was black like any other shock but he knew by how the leak was "fixed".
Peter rebores, and resleeves the shox along with some other more modern upgrades as technology has advanced since our shocks were designed.
I currently have 14 of his rebuilds on my own LBCs, some are aging along like my wife's Sprite shocks have got to be 8 or 9 years old now, the A40 is 8 years, my own Sprite has the uprated shocks and they are pushing 5 years, and my Healey has a new set of Peter-builts but they are only about 6 months old. Never a problem. He is fussy about his cores though.
Nice knowledgable guy, nice shop, closed weekends.
