1929 Steering, Shocks & Hershey
I sort of have a rolling chassis done. Just some minor questions.
1. Can someone post pictures of the front and rear shock absorber mountings and link arm configuration (I know the factory shocks are lousy but I want my cat to look original)
2. Does the arrow on the shock absorber point down or up when installed properly? (If they don't work why do I care?)
3. Does anyone have a picture of the steering link arm that joins the two front wheels?
4. Is the steering box filed with grease? It doesn't look to me like oil will last too long in there, I can foresee leakage with anything thinner than grease.
5. I know the rear bolt (9/16") on the steering box loads the tapered roller bearings. What does the front bolt (1/2") do? Or is that a grease point?
6. Anyone have a picture of the electrical set-up in the bottom of the steering column?
7. Anyone taking their Hudson to Hershey? That will solve a LOT of my issues.
Thanks in advance.
