GPA front shocks

Post by Cees »

I am looking for GPA front shocks are they still available from Gabriel? Or do they make them on special order.

Hi Cees,
All I used on my GPA was standard GPW / MB Shocks.
They fitted with out a problem. (May not be 100% correct but they work)

Best regards
Richard

Richard,

I only can use MB shocks if I use your extended bell crank shaft.

I have found a alternative for the GPA front shocks. They are extended a little bid shorter. I removed the rubbers and can use the ford/mb style rubbers they fit perfect.
