I have one of these, I think it may need a service given it's been 11 years without one 🙂
Seal kits seem unavailable on the internet. I'd rather do it myself, but I might have to pay someone. I don't want to spent a ton on a new shock of course, so don't tell me to throw it away and buy a new one unless I can get one for £50.
Even a parts list with o-ring sizes so I could find my own would help...
Some old Swinger service manuals on here https://www.manitoumtb.com/support/
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/manitou-swinger-air-seal-kit/rp-prod20891 - dohhhhhh - good ole out of stock trick
or try ebay.com - there are some there, I've managed to get some scarcer US parts that way
ps are you in IT ?
The guy who runs this place is on MTBR and deals a lot with Manitou stuff, so if he doesn't have the bits you need, he might be able to help with o-ring sizes etc.

Christ that's a lot of o-rings.. what am I getting myself into?
Looks like that kit 83-2708 is a generic one covering my shock. Sounds like what I need.. brilliant.
I reckon it's a good shock tbh, but no-one else seemed to!
Try this;
In fact the whole site is useful for all sorts of mtb manuals; http://my-sport.spb.ru/manual_1/
Out of interest what length is this shock of yours Moly?
Not sure, but according to the internet it might be 222mm eye to eye.
You have one spare?
Have you tried googling "four way swinger rubber kit" ?
