LennyDaVinci Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have a 1929 DA Dodge Roadster and I need to replace (or repair) the rear lever-action shocks. The ones on the car at present are Monroe (not common on Dodge but this car is in Australia!) but they both lack the 'intake valve' inside the shock's cylinder.Parts are apparently unavailable anywhere, so I am looking for a pair of substitute lever actions that might fit.The front has Delco-Lovejoy, which would be fine if available.Happy to pay the right price.

Guest 1930 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I sold Tom and Cindy Myers a set not too long ago, maybe they still have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyDaVinci Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Mick,Good to see another Aussie.... They are not quite right, and may have the problems of missing parts that I currently experience. I will chase the Myers set and see what happens?

mick dodge 1927 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ok Good luck Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Scafani Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have some. Monroe or Delco-lovejoy shipping is expensive as there is no surface mail anymore. One of each is stuck. $30.00 for a pair. I can take them apart if that helps to save on shipping. dbracer26@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I would go with these because they are stuck and prob. not messed with, the pair I sold a while back were not stuck and leaked and would have to be gone thru with the possability of finding something you dont want to find. Stuck is better for me personally. I am still looking for that info you had asked about for these monroe shocks, the more I think about the more I think I have some.

LennyDaVinci Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi all again,I think (?) this is the inlet valve I need for the base of the Monroes. Top and bottom view - about 28mm diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIClassicGuy Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Help! Anybody have a modern seal part number for Monroe lever action shocks?...I have the front Delco ones figured out, but the rears seem to be tricky- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIClassicGuy Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The more I look at my Monroe's, the better the re-build cost looks at Apple Hydraulics....They were run dry a little too long, and the bearing surfaces are pretty rough, so a new seal probably will leak anyway...Rats!
