shock questions

[Tom Wesenberg]

Steve plucker,
Thanks for the advise. I didn't remove the plugs on the two I have soaking in diesel. I just wire brushed them off and dropped them in. They are the AC brand. I only have the fronts off at the present time and I left the arms on them so I should be able to tell which is left and which is right. I will remove them from the diesel and try what you have suggested.

Tom,
Those tools you made look good. Do you sell them?

No, but when I made my set I figured I might as well make 3 sets. I sold one set on ebay, one set to Jim Sinclair (sp) and kept the last set for myself. If I had a vertical mill it would help, but I had to use a milling bit in my drill press, and this was too dangerous and made a big mess of fine slivers that I kept getting into my hands. It just isn't worth the time and trouble for what I got out of them. I do plan to write an article for the MARC magaizine that will help anyone wanting to make there own.

Although I have yet to restore my shocks, the information that Steve, Tom, and other Fordbarners provide will be invaluable. Thanks for all you do!
