Re: GP Shocks
Go to the main page of this forum,,click on new topic. Why drill a hole, the GP shocks have plugs, if you mean GPW shocks, go to the main page which lists all the forums and ask in the mb gpw tec forum. You do not just add oil to gpw shocks, only some of the ww2 ones are rebuildable.

Re: GP Shocks
Adam do you have a nice spare F-898 arm you’d part with? I have one that’s pitted badly and would like to replace it.

Re: GP Shocks
Only spare i have is rusted away like the bottom one, may need it anyway as the 2nd one down in the picture has the link hole worn out, wonder if that can be welded up and re machined.
Other ones are on the way to the shop, so unless one of them is beat i wont have one,

Re: GP Shocks
Are the front and rear shocks interchangeable or front/rear specific?

Re: GP Shocks
