Hi Ozstatsman,
A G'day from the U.K.
Would it be possible when you are in Wades workshop again To have a look at the 34's Shock absorber links and e-mail me some details about them.
My 34 has oddball shock links which I have been told are not necessarily incorrect. The shocks themselves are Lovejoy delco's but have links rather like small track rod ends and to me are a bit weak compared to the fork type
Any info will be much appreciated.
Best regards
Terry

G'day Terry,

It's early Saturday morning here at the moment but I'll be back in the workshop Monday. I'll take pic's of the shock links on his restored chassis and the spare chassis out the back and post them here for your and everyone's edification. I'll also ask Wade about them in case there's something he can add.

Hi Mal,
Thanks for the reply. I do'nt know what happened to our thread but I did manage to see it before it disappeared.
I see you live in Epping thats strange because Our Epping is only 10 minutes away from me in Essex,
I look forward to the info
Thanks
Trrry

Terry, I'd be very interesting in knowing what new information you obtained about your shock links. I believe you and I exchanged private emails several months ago on this topic.

Hi Dave, Yes you are correct we did converse on this subject a while ago. I have'nt found any more as yet but just waiting to get some more info from our Aussie friends.
If I cant find any but can obtain enough info I may be able to make some> They don't look to difficult to fabricate apart from the piece which is fitted to the axle as the bottom support
I hope you read the explanation of Traumjaegercat.
All the best
Terry

i made a set for the 38, do you have pics of what they are sposed to look like?

G'day Trrrry,

That thread is actually in the Project Blogs Forum under the Topic title of "A request to wades workshop". So to keep all of this together I'll ask BigKev to move the posts from that Topic into this one.

Kev,

Can you assimilate the posts from "A request to wades workshop" in the Project Blogs Forum into this thread please?

Kev,

Can you please move these posts into the "1934 shock links" Topic in the Pre-War Forum?

With a wave of the wand....voila...it is done.

Kev
