I could use some telescoping tube and springs to act like oil shocks but would like the true absorber action. ... Any thoughts? Bill
Your thoughts are doing just fine!!
I have made up a couple of sets of shocks with telescoping brass tubing and a spring from a hardware store - they work great, cost very little and look cool.
That's 3/3 - it doesn't get much better!
Depending on the size of the AC you will have to test out different sizes of tubing and springs - just routine modeller stuff - other than that the shocks are an easy build!
Enjoy!! [8D]
