    nice coils… should be a nice runner when all fixed up.

     

    on my last 5.5  shock absorber I had a heck of  a time resealing the GC and  getting the drive shaft to turn … the shock absorber was stretched and I simply  knocked it back to 6 inch 11/16

    then I had it spot welded shut and installed a  brass dive pin.

    been reading lots of old posts  on shock absorber  size…. 6″11/16  seems the magic number … mine meaures  6″ 13/16 .

    while initially  working the housing  I recall it falling out  on the  ciment floor  and wonder if it got  messed up then ???   anyhow… pursuing the adventure

    GC gears turn fine on their own  but driveshaft turns about 3/4 turn and binds… on its own   . I’ll reinspect the  shock absorber  and  if  6″11/16 is the magic  number I’ll have my neighbour  tack weld it  at 6″11/16.
