Default 1934 Front Shock Restoration

I'm about to receive some 34 front shocks . They will need to restored. My restorer who has done Model A shocks for me tells me that some 34 shocks had the cover crimped on and others screwed on . He says he can only restore the screwed on type. Never heard this before -Not sure what I have coming but to late now, Is he correct ? -Karl

Is it that your car does not have shocks at the present time?

Does have shocks but they are Model A shocks that have been adapted to fit
I would prefer the original if I could get them

The North American '34 front shocks originally had spun-on (crimped) covers. Andy Falandes in Massachusetts has the capability to recreate that type of cover.
