Mike, I am not aware of a friction shock maker in Ohio but there used to be one in Central Point, OR that made beautiful reproductions of Hartford shocks. The machine shop owner, Jay Shaffer, is now retired, but he still had some parts in stock last year.
You can contact him at (503)855-7509.
I have a set of his shocks mounted on my T sprint car. You can check them out at the link below.
