I've seen recommendations for MDH. Also for Bodyworx in Brighton and Hamworthy Body Shop. No idea how close any of them are to you.

As an update to Dandys great post on replacing these seals. These are the ones that commonly leak. A word of caution, around 30-40% of the time, other seals fail after replacing these. But that does mean 60-70% of the time, they don't. You can now buy a couple of different seal kits from Bongo Land ...

As a garage I use the standard parts on customers Bongos. As you said - some are ludicrous price. But they are reliable. (I warranty my work so need that reliability.) Also if the part fails before it should, the supplier will generally replace it. Over the years, I've trialled some of the cheaper p...

Result!

Better not be one here either then Jill.

The original crossmembers are only spot welded. Bongos were not originally designed to tow, so worth strengthening.
