C1 Spiral Shocks Inspection Marks

[Garry Barnes]

I have the original spiral shocks for my '56 that appear to be fuctional enough to put on for judging only. In the process of cleaning, priming and repainting I noticed one of the front shocks had remnants of a yellow inspection mark at the end near the inner stem. Is this typical? I see no mention of inspecting for this during regional and national judging.

Garry, I wouldn' be suprised if no one can say for sure on this detail. Original '56's are hard to come by. Suggest share your findings/suspections with others, i.e. take a picture of the shock/mark and send it along with your findings to '56-'67 Team leader Scott Sinclair. Regards,
