if you cant get one new ill see if I can get the one off the spare burst shock I have, tbh I tink they are bonded into the shock mount to stop them moving.

Ill look once Ive had lunch.  :y

Not sure, but I know a cav one wont fit, I tried in dsperation to find a suitable replacement when this one burst. in the end I refilled the shock with hydraulic oil, and welded the hole shut, lasted til I got brand new vaux ones in the post a week later.
