[TR] Rear shock mounting - TR2/3

[Angelo Graham]

Hello List:
A question regarding the nut/bolt arrangement securing the rear 
shocks on the early cars. Has anyone substituted a different 
arrangement or type of fasteners for the shocks? The nylock nut is 
always a pain to get off and used a ground down socket to accomplish 
this. Someone had mentioned using cap-screws and nuts from the rear. 
Searched the archives and couldn't find anything on this. Any listers 
use a particular arrangement for this??
Also, when re-filling the rear shocks, Harley-Davidson fork oil was 
recommended. Any particular weight? The dealer told me that their 20 
wt. was the most used by the H-D boys. Is this weight right for our shocks??
Thanks again for any help with these questions.
