Can I ask my fellow Model T members. What is the felling on how I want to attach friction shocks to myT. The photo shows a dry fit. I still have to bolt it ti the front axle.

I think you'll find that they are mounted from frame to axle (perch is a ridge part of the axle) . There are several variations in his link

Hi George,
Frank is spot on. Those friction shocks look like Speedway's is the shackle plate with the eye on it from Speedway also? was it a exact fit
to the T shackle?
Thanks.
Craig.

Just FYI, trivia and useless information. The Speedway shocks are a present day reproduction of the friction shocks make by Ansen Equipment back in the '50s -'60s.
