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 -
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.

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 -
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 -
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 -

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.

Installing friction shocks on the rear of my Model A Sedan was more of a challenge than installing them on the front. The stock shock on the right rear was a non entity, no resistance at all even when re-filled, scuff marks can be seen in the photos on the inner fender well from the original shock link. The biggest challenge was to move the new shock out far enough away from the frame to clear the...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
