Rear shock perch do you know what manufacturer

Post by AZTerry » Thu Oct 31, 2019 8:07 pm

I found what appear to be perches for a small drum rear axle shock. Does anyone know who the manufacturer was?

There was a set of double arm shocks listed for sale in the classifieds recently which need that type of perch. Here in Australia Duncan and Fraser offered English made Richards Wilcox double arm shocks which require the same type of perch. These interpose the arms between the spring and the perch using the original shackles, so the perch needs to be spaced further outboard.

Hope this helps,

Could be for Hassler Pancake - NOT Beehive.

I do not believe these are for hassler pancake shocks. They do not have the stop lug on them like my set does.

That's possible - I'll go pull mine out to verify - they are similar.

I would like to thank everyone for the input. I should have posted the dimensions with the first post. The boss is 1-1/2" wide and the bore is 1/2".
They do look allot like the H&D that Mark suggested looking at the information in his link. A very interesting setup.

Thank you,
Terry

Terry, if your measurements are correct, they are not for a Ford. They are rear perches and need to be 2" wide, and I think the shackles have 9/16" pins.

Rear HASSLER Pancake perches are slightly curved but similar.

The lever arm shocks even with different number of forks have similar 2 piece (bolt & bracket)
