Telescopic Rear Shock Mounts
By Jim Peall
This is an overall
shot of the telescope shock, I don’t know what car it is off as I brought it by
sizes and travel to suite the job, and it is a gas shock.
The top mount is a
50mm steam pipe and the tags on the ends bolt to where the lever arm shocks
bolted to and the lower is round bar that has been drilled and taped for the
bolt and then welded to the spring plate.
This is the top right
side and the cross tube is bolted on were the lever arm shocks mounted too. Just
as well the timber floor is out of the Ute for this photo.
Lower shock mount on
left hand side, the mount welded to the spring plate is solid round bar drill
and taped for the bolt with a crush tube in the shock rubber. The round bar is
mounted on an angle and the top of the bar has been milled off to be level with
the bottom of the spring.
Hope this is a help.
Jim.
