UPDATE

I've just remembered that I had also stored a couple of old oil coolers(now with Nasher) on the same shelf as the shock, and on close inspection the puddle of fluid does to me look like engine oil rather than hydraulic fluid. So I now doubt that the shock is leaking, I would certainly try it out before considering having it worked on. But I'll keep the price the same.
The original spring is rated as 31/95 and the softer replacement is 29/90. Both springs are included in the sale.
These shocks should I think fit any of the older Monsters with the hoop type suspension linkage, and the 851 & 888.
