New Shock absorbers

Have you explored the option of having the originals refurbished ?

There are plenty of specialist companies out there that cater for the classic car and motorcycle scene where a lot of parts have become obsolete.

Have you contacted Alco direct if it is on one of their chassis

Have you tried ringing one of the 'Old School' dealers which have been around for decades?

Don Amott (other dealers are available) have this on their website:

Parts galore!
We hold a broad range of caravan and motorhome accessories, parts and appliances in stock, but are usually able to source and order most other parts on request.

As well as the brands listed above, we can also order and fit parts for: SEA Spa Group, Elnagh, McLouis, Mobilvetta, Trigano Spa, Autoroller, Granduca and Tribute models.

Parts can also be delivered to anywhere in the UK, if required.

Their number: 01283 732 193

Even if they can't help you, they maybe able to advise you further?

Good luck 

Thanks for the comments. Sadly, Don Amott have never heard of the make and cannot help. It's not an AL-KO chassis but as a tip Al-KO axles have a code number right in the middle of the axle underneath the van (crawl under and look up or use your selfie stick) if you find this then it can be used to identify all suspension parts. This is in addition to the VIN number

Before CT went all funny yesterday afternoon I posted that if you google 'Reco Shock Absorbers' you will see a site which specialises in vintage shock absorbers including restoring old ones.  It may help.

Looked  on Google France (google.fr) and found a dealer near Rouen who stocked the current replacement for my old set. Delivered 36h later for 20 Euros. Brilliant service. Fitted with no problems

Hi Geoff 74, thinking of buying a flourette pop top could you let us know name and contact in France of spàres availablity as there doesn't seem any in britain .  Thanks.

for the shock absorbers (amortisseurs in French)

I have also just sourced new gas struts for the pop top roof from SGS engineering in the UK. https://www.sgs-engineering.com/

Persistance helps and using non-uk Google sich as google.fr

Of course you have to use the appropriate language if you search a French (or other countries google)
