Paul White Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hi all, Seeking assistance in obtaining photos and or parts numbers for original rear lever shock absorbers for my South African '36. At some point it has had modern shocks fitted to the rear and I am wanting to return it to stock. Also, wanting to confirm that the matching splash pans are only in two parts, left and right hand. I seem to recall (fading memory through age) that there was a front panel that attached at the bottom of the radiator cowl? Is this correct? if so does anyone have a photo of one? Cheers Paul of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Paul, Sorry - no photos on hand but these are the part numbers. There is a 3rd part to the engine trays. It is only small and fits at the front and under the pulley/harmonic balancer. It bolts to the front of each side panel and from memory to the front crossmember. Near bloody impossible to put back on so most cars have it missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul White Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi all, I have just purchased the splash pans from him but have gone back to him to see if he has the front section as mentioned by Stuart above Stuart's information concerning the shocks has also helped confirmed that the same guy has the correct shocks but at $700AUS. I bought a pair of NOS front shocks for the '36 at the Denver nationals in 2018 for $20.00 I will have to have a real think first Cheers Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
