How often do Stipe shocks need to be topped up?Comment

The website doesn't seem to work for me.Comment

It didn't work for me either then I noticed this thread is almost five years old, maybe that's why.Comment

Here is Stipe's current homepage. It is non-responsive to a computer mouse click but does have a phone number: http://stipemachine.com/
Bill Stipe is sort of the "Hershey Chocolate Bar" in several machining areas, e.g., cams, shocks and so forth. If one makes a really great product, one can have a successful business without much formal advertising.

Yesterday I installed a set of Offenhauser Friction Shocks on my 30 Town Sedan driver. I wanted to try these as a alternative to replacing or rebuilding the stock shocks and at a fraction of the cost ( $95 per set from Speedway) these seemed to be worth trying. The install was a snap using the original bolt holes in the frame, the arms were the same length as the original, all I had to do was add...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Roy Nelson did my last set of shocks for fine point. RIP.
Who is recommended now? I did one set and that was 4 shocks too many.

This subject has been beaten to death on the other Ford forum. All good opinions and facts. Now I am looking at shocks from a different angle. There is the very well known rebuilder and several lessor known rebuilders. The big three suppliers sell shocks that look to be identical for about the same price. So my question is go with rebuilt or new. The price is about the same. Now what is the...05-21-2017, 05:34 PM -
We're working on a friend's tudor sedan fitted with tube shocks (car has many older mod's !) Does any one know what brand of eyelet or loop end shock would fit as replacements? We've read that some find them too stiff for the A but the owner can't buy original repro's at $1100+. We contacted some vendors from the MAFCA list and all they sell are full kits (with no separate shock brand info.available)....08-05-2017, 11:36 AM -
I have just removed a complete set of "Ford Logo" Houdialle shocks from my 30 Pickup. They are functioning, but not well, and three of them are not leaking, the fourth is leaking only slightly. They are not rusty and should be an easy rebuild. What do you feel is a reasonable asking price for these shocks. I do not need them as I replaced them with new Stipe shocks....07-13-2018, 04:55 PM -
So Rusty aint got no shocks and I aint got the pocket change for Stipes. So I am looking at Snyders (no drill) or Ken Davis drill. Whatcha'll think I should go with?05-14-2018, 12:29 PM -
I am interested in any members' opinions/experiences on the modern shock absorber kit offered by Bratton's (see https://www.brattons.com/no-drilling...nting-kit.html). I like the idea of not having to remove the brake drums and the like to install the rears. I have asked Bratton's for any additional instructions they have, but what they have is just what is shown on the website. If anyone...09-20-2017, 04:23 PM -
Could someone explain to me why shocks for a Model A are so expensive? How long do they normally last? Also what input do you have on installing modern shocks on a model A?. I am only looking to get your input if possible to further my knowledge. Thanks Hugh03-05-2018, 09:23 PM -
