I can get them fairly easy, even syncro ones.
I personally don't think they are that special, not a patch on a Sachs or a Bilstein.
I believe Monroe sell casings for their syncro damper to OME, thats why they come with "Made in Belgium" on them.

In all honesty, and this isn't anything to do with anything I sell but my experience of those dampers is leaks, leaks and a few leaks.

:lol:
Ah! the sweet voice of experiance! Leak, leak, Squeek and not to mention the knock from the rear! Some people would think we aint been working on these vans for years :lol:

That's right, the front Syncro OMEs are def Munroe cases, but I was shocked a few years ago to be quoted as much for a pair of Munroes from a Hemel Hempsted factor as OMEs shipped from Oz to California and then to here!
I bought the OMEs...
