Can i extend my Gaz shocks
 
Hi All,

Ive got a pair of GAZ shocks with the part built roadster we got of Andy B. Only problem is there 9-12" rather than 9-13".

Anyone know if you can extend these in anyway?

Thanks.

I don't think it's a DIY proposition. Most probably the car will be OK with 12" shocks, too.

Gaz do extended top mounts any length you like
They fit to the bare shock rod
Simply unscrew the top mount screw onthe new one, a little locktight to keep it there.
We use them in oval racing to lift one side of the car body

I bought some recently. You will need some heat on the old one to get it off. Make sure you get ones with the coil over mount fitted( mine didn't).

Thanks all, decided in the end to put the Gaz on th bay of thieves and save up and get some protechs so they match the ones on the back. No rush after all is there the build wont be finished next week......month......year!
