MG TD TF 1500 - MGB Shocks on TD

I need to replace my shocks on the TD. A recent article in MG World about a TD mentions installing MGB lever shocks in place of the TD shocks. Apparently they mount on the same holes and only need minor fitting under the front wing. Any one have any info on this?

O.k., guess nobody had any info! I have found the company that offers the retr-fit kit if anyone is interested. Brown & Gammons in the UK sells the kit which comes with new MGB shocks, new upper trunnion links and necessary hardware.

Why not just have your TD shocks rebuilt?

MGB shocks are stronger, more available and far less costly to rebuild.

I have just had MGB shock dampers fitted to my TF1500.
They make a considerable difference, the car is stiffer round corners.

Keith,
Was the fitting pretty straight forward? How about the rear shocks? Brown & Gammons suggest MGA shocks.
by the way, you spell your last name funny! Perhaps we're related!
