[Healeys] Rear Shock Mounting Bolts

[Bruce Steele]

That’s similar to, and appears to be simpler than, my solution, which I replied to Harold and the list on 8/2.  However, I never saw my response show up on the list.  Odd.

Hey Chris,

 

That's an elegant solution.

Here is my fix for rear shocks. 

Once you make the rear nuts captive, you can concentrate on doing them up tight.

What is the secret to tightening the rear shock mounting bolts on an Armstrong lever arm shock absorber? After attacking the problem unsuccessfully with many different tools I ground one side of an inexpensive 9/16" socket until it would fit to hold the head of the bolt. Surely BMC had a better method.
