[TR] TR6 Rear Shock Conversion

[John Cohen]

Ed,
Switching to the Blind Moose conversion and adjustable SPAX shocks  was one
of the first things I did to my 76 TR6 and the improvement in handling was
dramatic.  Now to be fair, the lever shocks that I took off were probably
shot.  After having the conversion on for about 5 years, I noticed the
cracking in the mounts and had everything reinforced, welded up and then I
added the recommended bracing.  Not one problem since, I still believe it is
one of the best upgrades I have made to the car.

All,

I know that there has been previous discussions on converting to tube shocks
on the TR6, however, I have lost the previous emails and would like the
advice of the group regarding converting and in particular using the 'Blind
Moose'
kit.  It seems to me that it would tear loose at the mount points.
