Have you tried Charlie Preston, Husky Sales UK? His contact number is on his website, he might be able to help.

82to85 twin shocks are pretty much the same set up, different lengths

Without studying the parts sheets which you could do I suspect a wr model from 1983 or 1984 or an auto or four stroke with similar suspension would be an exact match. Before I had a bunch of spares I cut the portion which holds the bearings off a silver framed one and welded it in place of the deformed one on the chain side I had on my white framed one and incorporated a tube and grease fitting in the process. What else goes wrong with them? A cr would need different rear brake parts and an xc has more suspension travel and I believe longer shock travel but I really don't know how much the length differs. I suspect the shock mount is the same distance from the pivot but have xc stuff myself for those. The 82 and earlier silver framed ones have such a different top mount location I can't see the bottom mount being in the right place.
