Just throwing this out there for any of you looking to get your lever action shocks rebuilt or buy a rebuilt one, this place did mine. They do more than just shocks. Rebuilt my fronts first. One did leak after install but the guy shipped me out a replacement same day and paid for shipping both directions. Done in under a week. Rear shocks are on the way back now less than 7 day turn around and competitive pricing. Ask for Lazar. http://www.applehydraulics.com/
Great info. In my small, backward town of Atwater, there are some machine shops, (2) one of which has a Sunnen CK10 hone. I took my spindles there to have my new bushings honed...(align-honed, to make sure finished bores are concentric. {that means 'parallel', for any Atwater readers that may be lurking} "Align honed?" he asked... He didn't know how to set the spindle, nor how to fit it. "I can do it, I'll still pay you the labor," I offered. "Oh, no, I couldn't let you touch it..." So. I bought a driver/hone from a friend, did 'em myself. I'll send my master cylinder to @Applehydraulics to be sleeved. Thanks, @delta!
That's good info, I really like the vintage look of the lever shocks, do they work as good as a regular shock?
This is an MG Midget/AH Sprite rear shock that I got from Apple Hydraulics. The mounting bracket is a wood pattern that I later cut out of 1/4” plate
Really don't know if they work as good as a regular shock yet. It will be a number of years before I actually get to drive this car. I do want it to be as completely vintage throughout as I can get it.
