[Fot] TR3 rear shock conversion

[Steven Belfer]

I have lever shocks on my dad's old TR3.  Stock with thicker shock oil  
for racing.   They leak as originally designed, but they leak very  
slowly over time.  Other slowly seeping parts include the engine,  
trans, and diff.  Also, the grease fittings on the driveshaft and  
suspension points are greasy inside and out.

When I bought my TR3 it had tube shocks on it.  That caused me to lose a
point with CVAR for authenticity.  I didn't know about World Wide
Imports, so I bought rebuilt lever shocks from Roadster Factory and sold
the tube shocks on Ebay.  I've never had any problems and can't tell any
difference in handling.
