Re: Lightweight rear suspension units
Yep, that's exactly what mine turned out like
New bushes, covers and a lick of paint and all is well. I don't know how the originals were put together (they don't seem to be rebuildable at all), but it is impressive that there are no leaks after 50+ years...

Hi Bri,
Have sent you a PM.
Bushes are 3/8" x 3/4" and available from various sources.
I got new suspension covers on eBay - they are listed as "AJS/MATCHLESS GIRLING STYLE SHOCK ABSORBER COVER SET" or similar at around £20 for a set.
