I saw a british kit advertised once that had 3 mounting points; the two bolts where the existing Armstrong is attached and the third point where the rubber bumpstop on the frame contacts the Armstron

All--Some tube shock conversions do not require any re-engineering during or after installation. Alto I rarely do business with VB, I found their kit to be acceptable. The bracket is designed to just

Hi All. The Roadster Factory has two different styles of Tube Shock Conversion kits. They say that one of them is much harder to install but they don t say how or why. Can anyone tell me why or how

I like the British Parts Northwest kit. Light - simple to install - sturdy. It took me about 15 minutes per side, and uses the same holes as the existing lever shocks. Keith Meinhold 66 Marston Avenu

It also does not require drilling into the body of the car and using that for support. There should be quite a bit in the archives on this but if you are converting my opinion is stay away from bolti

Has anyone experienced the Victoria British setup for rear tube shock conversion? My frame is about to be swapped out, so I couldn't have a better time to consider this change. Thanks for the feedbac
