So that means the nut (approx,13mm) that sits atop and on the side of the
shock is the filler hole? If so, that's how I remember MGB shocks being
configured.
The reason for my question is; I just watched an MG Midget shock absorber
Tech Tip You Tube video off the ChicagoLand MG site. In that video, the guy
doing the hydraulic fill said in order to fill the shock with fluid, it was
first necessary to remove the top plate off the fluid chamber, which is held
on
by a series of screws. I wasn't planning to go thru all that, including
replacement of the cover plate gasket, if I could merely unscrew the fill
plug. I
guess he was working with some other make or model shock, other than factory
original ????
Someone please confirm all of the above for me.
By the way, the shocks I pulled out from the Bugeye had LARGE amounts of
free travel before any resistance was found. I have a spare set of shocks off
a
'73 Midget that I plan to use instead. They are firm throughout the entire
length of arm travel, so I'm thinking they'll be a more suitable candidate in
this case.
