I've finally cracked the home rebuild on the rear shock for Paioli rear shocks on Zanes. It's taken many many beers (drink).

All the internal o rings and the wiper seal are available from a good hydraulic shop.

The only one that is unobtainium is the oil seal that sits above the shaft bush. 24*14*3.4mm. The best aftermarket fit I can find is a Showa 26*14*5mm at $28aud each. This involves turning out the housing to fit, and we lose 1.6mm of the shaft bush, which is not good.

SO, I'm in the process of getting oem spec seals made up for the 7 shocks I have, plus a couple of spares. I'm looking at $10 each for mine.

If anyone wants any, let me know asap. I'm going to chuck 50% on top for "research and handling", plus you'll have ur postage.

Regards, Greg

 
You'd have to concede Greg, that offering Paioli shock rebuild parts for Zane Laverdas is the ultimate niche within a niche within a niche!  :)
For a parallel niche subculture you could also offer them in the Bimota world, they used Paioli shocks in that era and might be the same.
