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

Sheldon,


Those aren't reproductions of '32 shocks, but unique technology with the apparent dimensions of a Model A shock, not a '32 shock. For most people they would fit the bill nicely.


Because they have a higher capacity, the bodies of both the short-lived manually adjustable B shock and '32 thermostatically controlled V8 shock are a full 1/4" higher than that of a Model A shock (and that of that interesting British creation).

That is why I said "replacement".
