Aprilia shock dampers

Unread post by William Youlton »

I am looking for a machine shop that can repair/recondition Houdaille shocks as fitted on the second series Aprilia. Until now I can only find contacts in America. Anybody know of someone in Europe that can do this ?

Sorry, I can't help you out with the shocks, but if you're the same Will that I used to work with who got wet over the idea of rallying in too small Italian cars, so small that the drivers have to step outside before they can change their minds, then contact me, I've been wondering what happend to you.

Later,

I am not good enought involved in Aprilias so please let me know more about your
problem.
Are you talking about the rear or the front.The rear should not be a big problem.
If i remember well this are twin-tube shock´s.I rebuild some set´s of Aurelia rear shock´s
for a friend and they are working well.
And the same should be possible for Aprilia shock´s if they have pricipal the same construction.
And i believe they are
If you didn´t find a solution you can contact me.

bye and best regards
Andreas

PS.:My daily work are shock´s so don´t be worry about the knowlege to do that.
