Modern Shocks

[d.j. moordigian]

Brent,

Do you know if the " covers " interchange with the Stipe's shocks to make E-28?
I think you now were I'm going on this.

Have any of you guys tried shocks from that guy that advertises in the MARC magazine? I think his name is Robert Paul in Colorado. $75? I was considering giving him a try but the way things are I can't waste a dime on an experiment.

Hopefully Bill will see this but I know he has told me that regular original caps will interchange with his.

I have been ask about the cover interchanging before. I did design the base to have the same threads as the originals and the inside chamber cover to have the same recessed center for old style packing. While I have not tried it the possibility is there to make it work and funtion. Getting every thing to seal up with out leaks will be in the hands of the final assembler.
I use a quad seal around the shaft and that will have to be changed to the old style packing and I use an "O" ring around the base outside to seal the cover and that will need the old style packing.
Hope that sheds a little light.

{"I am gonna jump in here and add to the endorsement letter that Mr. Clarke sent above. I have been putting Bill's new shocks on most of the cars we are restoring (other than fine-point) for several years now and it is one of those things that unless you have them to actually compare with rebuilt originals, then you just cannot believe the difference."} Quote, Brent Terry

How long has Bill Stipe been making these shocks, I thought they only came out a year or so ago? Life is like a roll of toilet paper I guess, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes!
