I finally got around to installing the rear trunk shock kit from Ken Schipper. It is a must on V8 cars as the torsion bars that hold up the trunk get removed in the conversion to make room for the distributor, and great if your torsion bars are tweaked on a Porsche motored car. (much more civil than a stick as a trunk prop) They are available on ebay. Don't remember how much.
Has anyboby out there installed a battery in the front trunk in place of the windshield washer bottle? Will one fit there? Feedback please. Tesserra |

Evill Ed also sells a trunk shock kit--his is the first one that I heard about.
Pelican sells one as well. I think it's Ed's kit, but I'm frankly not sure. Pretty much, they are all just re-packaging some generic trunk struts and coming up with (or buying) a little bit of bracketry. What you really wind up paying for are the instructions and the research into where the struts actually go. --DD |
