Yes. And yes. I have three sets of Rotoshims - and I'm about to get a set for my '34. Ran some repro A shocks for a while, not sure who made them as they came from a UK supplier - one started leaking the day after I fitted it. The other started locking up. Used to use some uprated MGB lever...

Yes - that's what the ones I have look like.

I've had a couple of A water pumps with the face seals - I wondered who'd made them.

That ain't safe. Friction shocks are all but useless. I'd fit Rotoshims.

Definitely in production - saw them being made at Rotoshim yesterday... And very good they are too. I think Sammy at Arizona Model A might stock them?

I’m running a Rotoshim oil pump in mine. Built in relief valve that they can set to whatever you want.

I'd recommend Rotoshims. Only problem with them is I'm on my third set. And I have four cars...

Motorcycle gauntlets?

Tuesday afterwards was a cleaning day. Considering what I started with though, I can always do it again...

Took my Burtz block for a little drive to Pendine and take it down the beach. Friend of mine made a great video of the weekend. Unfortunately he had running problems and didn't get to film much of the action. Mine's the last car at the end... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9TW57wOjCc
