Most 1972's have chrome spring Girlings .  I would buy new NJB shocks , pretty much the same but greatly improved and they have Chromed springs ... Speed and Sport has them .

Mike, I agree with the use of Curnutts.  I own several pair and like them for vintage applications.  they are a bit softer, and I like that for cross country.  Some people call them Cur-Plunks, but at less than $100 for a rebuild they are very affordable.

Just got me a pair . Can't wait to get them on and check out rebounding since I weight 205 . Will put the sherry's away . I am sure I will need to clean them up a little .

Where's the best place to find the Curnutt shocks? Ebay?

If you can find a 13.5" set of Curnutt shocks, those are very good and rebuildable versus the non-rebuildable Progressive shocks.

Mark's Vintage Swapmeet seems to get a decent amount of Curnutts for sale.

Just received the Marzocchi and the top bushings are missing. Does anyone know were these might be acquired? Never ends!
