[Spridgets] Adjustable shocks

[Peter Caldwell]

Rick,  In the Armstrong universe, after say 1955, there are only 2 
rear shock bodies... the DAS9 as on Spridget rears and early Big 
Healeys (among many other cars) having a 3-5/8 on center mounting, 
and the DAS10 as on MGBs, TR6, and later Big Healeys with 4" on 
center mountings. So, Armstrong made the 2 different castings for the 
adjustable rears for any application that wanted them.  What makes 
the different part numbers of rear shocks among the 2 groups is arm 
swing, shape, and valving.
     Yes, we have seen many Big Healey adjustables.... might even 
have a few NOS ones around....
