[ROVERNET - UK] P5 shocks

[Gianni D'Ortenzio]

I couldn't easily find any either so took the old ones to the local 
suspension specialists (Pedders). They found something that was close enough 
and changed the eye on one end to fit. Cheap and worked just fine. Maybe a 
little stiffer than previously but the old ones were very old. I think it 
handles better now, but I added a castor kit at the same time so it wanders 
less and feels more solid all round.
Cheers Gianni
