Not an Austin specific answer but the only numbers I have come across:
For the simpler Hartford shock absorbers (as opposed to the multi disc version) the suggested poundage for vehicles up to 20cwt is 19lbs. Perhaps this gives a clue.
I would think in the case of the Austin front s/a the poundage would be per arm.
I think I set mine to about 15. This is the reading as the arm is moving as opposed to the higher reading as one overcomes initial "stiction".
Hope this gives a clue,
Regards,
Stuart
