Well, I did not intend to start "one of those threads" but...
Yes, it is an issue of cost. I do not wish to close the door on putting
lever shocks on my B but have MANY other items to spend money on. I would
rather go inexpensive but safe on the rear shocks and spend money on
rebushing my carbs, new tires, or new carpet, maybe leather seat covers, big
list! If I go tube today I get a safe car for about half the cost and still
have my lever shocks to exchange down the road. I'd be happy to stay with
levers if I could do it for $50US, any offers ;^)But we'll see what
happens...
Thanks to all who have voiced their views.

I think it is a $ issue, if you do the "do it yourself" conversion it
basically
is the cost of the tube shocks, which are much cheaper than the lever arms.
Of
course there is the "gee whiz" factor.
