[Fot] tuning lever shocks...now Peter Caldwell

[Jim Cun]

Hi Guys,
      We have this company here in OZ that have designed a new way
the valve works on a lever arm shock. This is a grab from their web site.
Lever Shocks for Historic Cars...
Lever race shock re-valving and dynoing.
Lever shock dyno force velocity graphs are used to fine adjust the valves.  We
have designed valving that provides something like twice the control of a new
standard lever shock, and similar to valving for a good telescopic shock.

It would be good to get Jeff Quick and Tony
Garmey involved in  
testing these. Tony has a shock dyno, Jeff works with him
and has  
made a fixture to test lever shocks. As I recall his conversation he
said they suck bilgewater, but that might be somewhat of a misquote.
