Re: 1940 Lever Shocks
Andy Falandes took over Bill Wzorech's shock business. You could try to contact him.
https://fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1324697 You may have to find some cores if yours are too far gone. Not all are rebuildable. Last edited by rotorwrench; 11-24-2021 at 12:11 PM. |

Re: 1940 Lever Shocks
I have ONE shock that is rebuilt. LR I believe. It was for my 39 Mercury but I never used it. $50.00 and it's yours. You pay shipping.

Re: 1940 Lever Shocks
I did really well buying and using used shocks for my Houdaille needs. Takes little time to determine how much they leak. If you have no trouble making a bigger deal out of the shocks, then go for the rebuilts. amazed me how many correct '40 shocks show up at the swaps. I have purchased "rebuilt" units with only modest success. Fun exercise to flush old ones and see how they work. Commonly recommended fluids seem to low viscosity. Big spenders, disregard. Fred A

Re: 1940 Lever Shocks
I think I found what I was after.
I got a hold of Andy Falandes. I'm going to send what I have to him. He said he also has cores if mine are not repairable or missing. Thanks for the help. |

Re: 1940 Lever Shocks
This is one hole I step into often. Even with the pandemic, I go to a couple of swap meets per month. Safety and decorum has been abandoned in LA county. Probably not two dozen masks out of the 500 in attendance. When the level of crowd and rudeness becomes a problem, I escape. The smaller and more focused club meets are less intimidating. HD Rider and I face quite different worlds. Good Luck: Fred A
