Hi guys,

Does anyone know of any lowered shock absorber mounts (or should that be raised?!) for the front - are available in Australia?
My Moke is requiring these and, typically, I have left it far too late if I want to get them here in time before the potential drive to Hay.

Cheers,

WG

Yeah I was actually going to do this. And think I might. Just thought it'd be easier to buy some off the shelf ones.
I've become so lazy in the finishing stages of this Moke build :lol:

Given your time constraints before Hay, I thought this might be an option, even if short term they aren't too 'pretty' you can order some for later from O/Seas.

Tried Karcraft? :?:

Indeed, however I think welded Aussie metal will far surpass the quality of the Chinese junk you'd buy today!
Yep, they don't stock them.

I think I might customise mine.. Just like almost everything else on this thing 8)
