    Where are they?

    I'm getting ready to start filling in the unneccessary holes in my Model A frame. Axles are not mounted and I can't find any good pictures or drawings showing the Houdaille shocks mounted. I'd like to not fill these holes (if they already exist in my frame) so I won't have to locate and re-drill them when it's time to mock it all up. Can any one identitfy them for me? A picture of a bare Model A chasis with the shocks mounted would help greatly. Thanks.

    On the side of the frame, about eight inches away from axle centerline, should be a pair of holes approx six inches apart. They are in the middle of the side of the rail, and are approx 1/2 inch holes.

    Thank you, Does this go for both the front and the rear?

    Front shocks are behind the axle, rear shocks are in front of the axle.

    Funny, that's what I meant for the rear, since there is no frame behind the A axle. Thanks for the help.
