ducktail users....what gas shocks?
just installed a ducktail,
when i released the decklid it FLYS up hard, way to hard, and shakes the whole rear of the car i tried to remove one side gas shock, but it pushes one side up...so i removed both for the time being,... what are you guys doing for rear shocks? |
jimtweet, i do not use gas shocks. i just lay mine back out of the way.....http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1314749998.jpg

I don't use shocks either.
|
I have one on there, but I have to check. Im sure it being old helps it not be too powerful.

duck tail
I have two weaker ones of my other 911s ,works fine .
|
I'll trade my weak ones for your good ones if they are the same. Off an 83sc......just an idea.

See if you can find a slightly worn out shock. I had the same problem of the the lid flying up too hard with a brand new one. The hood shock on my dads 912 was starting to wear out. We switched, he took my new one and I put his old one on my car. The slightly worn out hood shock works perfectly on the fiberglass tail :)

shock
I just have the one and it is aged but pretty sure it is a standard shock that I bought here a few years ago. Works fine for my duck, a little strong but not a problem and does not shoot up too hard.

I have one weak strut and one broken strut.
I purchased a replacement from our host, very good price btw. It arrived yesterday but it has so much resistance that I'm wondering if it might damage the mounting points in the FG. I didn't think about the resulting impact when it is released. :eek: Maybe I will walk around at the next DE and see if I can make an exchange! I might even get it installed for free ;) |
Some folks use this:

I'm using the stock gas shock. I don't like it - it props up one corner too high when the lid is closed.
I may go to the seine systems prop. |

Seine Systems' product is top-notch. Keep in mind that if you have a/c (like me) you will need to install it on the RH side of the engine lid.
