Houde shock absorber juice

[4Hud]

 We are working on our 1929 Chrysler model 75 and the manual says 90% Glycerine which I think is available at drug stores, it is a hand sanitizer ingredient, and 10% alcohol (isopropyl alcohol ?).  Is this the formula we are still using ?   Thanks

I use hydrolic jack oil. If you use glycerine get plain stuff with no additives.

Thanks guys. The manual states; " fill reservoir with glycerine-alcohol mixture, 10% alcohol. Do not use oil of any kind."  There is a lot of interesting/unusual stuff on the '29 Chrysler, we are having fun assembling this puzzle that was dis-assembled by others around 1980.  Bob

I think you're referring to Houdaille shocks, yes?

If you mix up glycerin and alcohol, isopropyl would be better than methanol, lower vapor pressure
