richard m Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Does anyone know of a good source for the woven strapping used on Delco-Remy Lovejoy shocks of the early '30's? The strapping is heavy duty 1 1/4' wide. Also I am in need of 3 of the metal wedges that the straps wrap around. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomara Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I have Hassler pancake shocks on my 1928 Chrysler and a friend with a commercial sewing machine bought some nylon webbing (rated really strong) doubled it and sewed it together. He made 4 straps for himself and 4 for me. The webbing at the width required is readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard m Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Thanks. Yes I considered that and would certainly be cheaper if I only had the sewing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Restoration Specialties in PA carried it, but it's another item that has been mostly discontinued. I think they may still have some as 1-1/4 is still listed in the catalog. Edited March 5, 2023 by jpage (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
