I am looking for a front knee shock rebuilt kit for my Master. The Filling Station lists a 29-32 rebuild kit but I can't seem to find a 34 kit. Any suggestions?

Gene is correct that normally new seals alone will not fix the problem. The situation is that over the years the cork seal got worn as well as hardened so the shock oil leaked out. The shaft kept moving against the hard dry cork seal and has a worn spot on it. A new seal might work for a while but not very long.

The rebuild process requires that the shaft be repaired with spray welding and machining to size with a polished finish.
