1928 Shock Question


OK TOM

Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I am trying to install the webbing on my shocks. Do you pre load the shock before installing the webbing? If so how much? Also how does the wedge at the bottom install? Pictures would be great. Thanks Tom

Tom, my 28 did not have any webbing when I got it in 1984.  And no instructions as I remember.  I bought some surplus mechanical belt and cut it to size.  I do not know if the following is right or wrong, but it is how I installed them.

 

Pre-load.  I just made sure that at rest with the wheels on the ground, about an inch of preload.  

 

As I remember a wedge goes in the rectangle hole to hold the webbing in place.  In taking pics in a confined space I really could not see how I attached them.  Hopefully, the pics will give you an idea.  If you cannot figure it out I will pull the car out of its resting place and take a closer look.
