Peter, you can PM him by looking for one of his replies in the New 1940 Book section. His user name is kubes40.

Thanks Tom. While you are garaging yours, we are exercising our fleet. 34 degrees set for today. I will await Mike`s contact thanks. Cheers, Peter.

G'Day Peter. My car is a Mercury and the shock arms are different than the Ford, measurements on my car would not be the same as a Ford. Also we are having January weather this week, so I don't want to open the garage door. Maybe Mike Kubarth can give you the shock arm length.

G`day Tom. I have measured the Houdaille arm lengths & the rear is 7" & front 6". Neither is stamped with '10'. Maybe I should have them the other way? I appreciate yours & others responses. Cheers mate. Peter. AU.

G`day Tom. Responding as usual thanks! I will accurately measure the dog bone link & check the Houdaille arm forged stamping is "10" or not. As my 40 Coupe was a moonshine Ford, it may have been mucked with earlier. Cheers from AU. Peter.

If you could post a photo it would very helpful. The Chassis parts books call for 3" links both front and rear of the 85HP, even early charts call for the 3" but yet some believe 4" fronts. The chassis parts books call for the 4" on the front of the 60HP. The difference between the 85 and the 60HP is the 60 does not have the stabilizer. All the 40, 85HP cars have stabilizers from the factory.

Peter, the parts catalog calls for P/N 48-18055A a 3" long link. You also need the correct shock which would be one with the arm having a 10 stamped on it. If you have incorrect shocks, the link may have to be a different length.
