by broke do you mean the little wire ring has corroded away and the whole lot slide up and down the damper piston?

if so clean up the damper rod and ge6t a tight fitting washer on it.

no there was not a gap to accomodate a wire ring on the shocks body mate, these look a bit different than the ones i bought on ebay .

i was just on about the cup (the red circled bit on the right of the pic) that is corroded a lot and was stuck to everything else .so i had to hit the cup with a hammer to get everything out ,i reckon they can be cleaned ,treated with rust killer etc and put back together
