When I did my mock up last week on the old frame, it looked like there wasn't going to be enough room to run the friction shock levers and have them be effective. So, I'm thinking of going with a hydralic shock kit from CCR or I'll see what RPM can put together for me. I'd rather give the business to a site member or I'll GET tha business!:rofl:

Hey Ron, How about a shock/headlight combo? I have an old T/P frame.

A breath of fresh air
I scored a nice, old air cleaner off Ebay and it delivered today! Supposed to have been used for marine applications, but it will sit perfect on my engine. Nice, thick aluminum from the good ole 60's.

We are working on all kinds of new stuff. Right now I can barely keep up with all the orders.
Rick is sending me a shock mount off of his car so we can make an exact copy of it. There should be a way to add a headlight mount to it.

Major work done and no pics
I got the frame back Friday and after doing some errands for my mom, I went to my mechanics shop and proceeded to swap the good stuff on the bad frame to the new one. Everything went easy as pie and if I would have had wheels and tires, I'd have a roller tonight. The wheels may get here next week.
I needed a new engine cross member and it will be here the middle of next week. So, next week, I'll clean up the engine and tranny and get them ready to drop in next weekend.
I also discovered a cure for smoking. Keep a wrench in both hands. Didn't smoke for the better part of 8 hours.

I'm waiting to see what RPM comes up with. I also have an idea for friction shocks that I'm looking into. I'll know whether that will work tomorrow.

LOL, he doesn't have to do that. It's made for a TP frame and that's what I have too. As long as he can duplicate it, it should work for me.
I still have an idea for friction shocks, but I'm not sure it will work. I measured and it probably won't, but I got the shackle piees from Thomas yesturday and I'll know for sure tomorrow.
I'll call Ron and save him a little time and shipping.
