help with choosing a shock absorber
I am rebuilding my 1948 vauxhall.
thred here. http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43857
I have fitted a complete volvo rear end, the coils have been shortened to get the ride height.
my problem is that i need to find some small shocks to complete the rear end install.
the coils are mounted at the rear of the diff, and the shocks are mounted at the front of the diff, as per factory volvo.
the lower shock mount is in the lower traling arm, and the upper shock mount is in the chassis.
the mounting points for the shocks from centre to centre are 300mm 30cm, or 12" at ride height whith the body fitted to the chassis.
I need to find some short shocks to suite, any ideas ?
thanks barnsey

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
