need soem "help" to 'sipher the early '32 Hodouallie shocks

[acchaplin]

Here goes. Several years ago I ordered the front shocks for a early production '32 from Stipes.

I had planned, when I got more $$ I would order the rears. That turned into a 4+ year wait, and now Stipes is no longer. Bratton's has the Houduallie shocks listed in their catalog and web site.

I was going to place an order to Bratton's for a pair "hex head" (same as the ones I got from Stipes earlier) shocks.

Then I noticed that they show and list, front shocks fit the opposite side on the rear. Ex; RF/LR. Ok, fine and dandy. But looking closely at the location of the shock arm pinch bolt slot in Bratton's pictures, it's backwards. Meaning, the RF shock pictured, has to fit on the RR on my frame for the shock arm to be pointed towards the front.

What's up? I suppose I am not "left eyed, or right eyed" But "cockeyed" Oh well.

The pictures show Stipes shocks for clarification. THANKS
