Hi All,

Had a little front end mishap this weekend and I toasted the inner fork tubes on my 95 TBird..early version. Just talked to the dealer and they dropped the bomb per tube.....anyone have an older front end or some tubes that they aren't planning on using.......I also need the front fender as that went the way of the wind also..........

Got 'em..leftovers after my rebuild.
They're on the other side of the pond though mate so the shipping cost might get a little iffy...

If you're talking bent tubes, then these guys were the ones who straightened mine out:

They did a teriffic job at a reasonable price.

They can also straighten out bent clamps, axles and rotors.


I sent the bent front wheel out for repair too, and got excellent results and service from:

Hi to both,

Yeah, I bent em both and with the crease in them, I didn't want to take the risk of having them straightened but thanks for the thought.

Hi Spooner....hey, is the finish on these 1/2 way decent? If so, and if you don't mind, let me know what you want for them. I will pay all shipping/etc and whatever you want to toss on for the parts.
