Alco shock absorbers

Subject: Alco shock absorbers Mon 15 Jul 2013 - 13:29

I have two brand new unused Alco shock absorbers "BLUE" for sale, I had got them when I snapped mine off on a speed ramp in Narbonne and had to have two new ones fitted by Fiat garage in Narbonne, when I got home I made a claim to Alco and they sent me two more which I never used, and have been sitting on a shelf in my shed for ages. They are no good for my present m/h so they can go to anyone that wants them (£94 pair from Alco).

Looking for £20 pair which is a massive saving and they will enhance your ride if yours have done a good mileage.

Will bring them to Tabley or can post P.P. extra. PM me if your interested.

Alko specify Octagon shocks as for Caravans

Alko website does not specify parts for AMC chassis nor prices, only for caravans which are the three colours of OCTAGON shocks

Have a look at yours on the shelf because if they are BLUE and Octagon shaped they are not for an Alko AMC chassis but for a caravan Alko "spit" LOL

The black one is the correct item

Any part nuimber or identifying marks? Alko don't list blue ones. Without some evidence that they are for an Alko heavy chassis other than your trust that they might have sent you the correct ones it's a bit of a gamble.

Don't know as they are in the van 10 miles away, if no markings no problem, no buy, all I know they fitted them to my Augusta and then sent me the replacements.
