Re: Billet shocks
 

Do you have a company name for these shocks?

Re: Billet shocks
 

All Iknow is that they are being sold by Lang’s.

Re: Billet shocks
 

Rotoflo is a name from Lang’s catolog.

Re: Billet shocks
 

Do you mean the Rotoshim shocks?

I’m running a couple of sets. I think Sammy stocks the at Arizona Model A.
I was the original test pilot for them. They’re very good indeed.

Bratton's has a shock by 'RotFlo'. https://www.brattons.com/ROTOFLO-A2-...tinfo/24901RT/

Re: Billet shocks
 

Rotoflo shocks were originally made in the UK in the '50s as replacements for Houdaille shocks. There are still originals floating around that show up on the HAMB from time to time. They work differently from the OEM shocks and use a very different fluid medium.

Bratton's sells the replica A2 Rotoflos as linked above, but I don't think I've ever seen any discussion of how well the replicas work or indeed how they function. I think hot rods are the target market.

“I think hot rods “

And, rich ones too!
Expensive

Re: Billet shocks
 

On the same order of magnitude cost-wise as Stipe and Rotoshim. Check with Brentwood Bob (this forum) for rebuilt original Houdailles.
