Guest cadaber Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Does anyone know if these can be rebuilt? I haven't taken the caps off to see what's in the inside. I blasted them with aluminum oxide to get a better look and noticed they leak. Thanks,Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cadaber Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thank you. I am trying to find out if the shaft can be pressed out and the seals replaced inside. The piston system inside looks well off with no apparent wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLF Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 MarkI've got the same problem with the right front on my 34 coupe. I haven't taken mine off yet. Was it a hard job? I'd be interested to hear how you make out with the sealsKen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cadaber Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Had some email correspondence with Apple Hydraulics (thanks Keiser31 for the POC) and they will rebuild them for $195 each, you have to send in your core to have it rebuilt since they do not have any in hand. They also offer a two year warranty for their work. I will let you know how they turn out. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cadaber Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Haha. I finally had a chance to take some leave. The Army life is great, however, never enough time for my toys. Got my frame out of the powder coating shop, came out splendid. Now I'm in a quandary on what to do about the bolts. I purchased some new grade 5 bolts but I don't like the look of them. I want to use the old bolts since they are original. I just don't know if I should have the old bolts zinc coated or a darker coat similar to a gun. I have no idea how they looked when they were original. Do you by chance have any idea how they came factory?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevdoc5 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hi mark been trying to contact you ,do you still have part for the 34 looking for ashtrays for rear garnish molding please contact me at elevdoc5@aol.com or call 781 733 3880 thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cadaber Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Got you message. I work out of town, so when I get back I have to look at the car to tell you what's still in good shape. For instance, the molding over the front dash is present but not worth salvaging. Really rusted. Sorry for the delays, I just don't get to spend a great deal of time at home. Also, the car is at my cousins place due to me not having enough room at my house. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkeys Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hi Mark ! Still interested in front gaurds and bumper overider if there not spoken for cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Greenlaw Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Tony.......I already bagged the overriders 3 months ago !!! LOLMark, Chassis looks great. Its a good starting point....don't forget to post heaps of pictures for us to see. Just a point, have you measured the chassis ? In the maintenance manual are the measurements from the various body holes. If I had done that to mine instead of assuming they were straight would have saved me about a grand. When the body shop set up the panels we found the front hood didn't fit. Finally we worked out the chassis was bent and it had to be straightened.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtyfourdodge Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I just sent my front shocks for 1934 DR to A-1 Shocks or Five Points Classic Auto parts. A-1 evidently has work done at Five Points shop in Santa Anna California. Quoted $165/ea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
