Source for 47 lower front shock studs??
Converting to 47 over to airplane shocks, I already have the 1948 style upper mounts. I’m looking for the stud that goes in where the original shock would have, but will fit the modern shocks. Does anybody sell these?
Picture shows where they go, the little Mickey Mouse ears right above the axle. One side holds sway bar, other holds shock. |

Thanks, yeah I’ve seen where people will just drill a hole through the axle and put a standard shock mount in but I didn’t want to do that unless I have to.

Looks like your front end is out in the picture; why not get a '48 axle with the hole for a shock stud; not like they are rare or in high demand.
The '48 frame mounts are also set for a shock located in front of the axle; also locates the shocks at a better angle as compared as hooking them above perch bolt does. |

Go to Joe's Auto parts. He sells the conversion kit, maybe he will sell you the studs only.

Yes I’ve seen the kits at Joe’s, he uses homemade perch pin that looks similar to the ones I have. Thanks, maybe I’ll give them a call. |
