I've heard someone hint at cutting the end off a shock to replace the seals but they were deliberately vague about it. I'll take a pipe cutter to one eventually to see for myself.

You can dress a pig up... but itÌs still a pig

Please get some decent shocks, even if they are used. You'll be much happier than you will be using the "new" old ones.
