[ROVERNET - UK] P5 shocks

Dirk,

I found replacement shocks from Ruth Burgess at ABC in Canada.  
However, the first shocks I got were KONI gas shocks, and although  
they looked the right fit, they bottomed out at the slightest bump.  
Ruth sent standard (non-gas) replacements which are excellent, but  
I'm not finding the paperwork with the brand she sent. I'll let you  
know if it turns up, but I'm sure Ruth can tell you.

Peter
