Help! where can I find this shock?

[vansantvoort]

Im restoring a 1960 VGLA1T (same frame as VBA/VBB but with 10 inch wheels) and need a new shock. I just can't seem to find the correct one anywhere on the net..i bought one at SIP scootershop but its too short.

The pic shows my original one and the "wrong"one..

anybody has an idea wehere to find the correct sized shcok for my scoot?

Thanks!

isn´t it the same as px ones? if so you can use the sebac ones....

I can only imagine that the difference is the Size of the extended nut that fits onto the rear shock-absorber. There are differences in Size from one Model to the next but I haven't as yet, heard that the Rear shock differs greatly in size

Try to get a longer extende nut (You can ask the people at Scooter Center Köln or Rollerladen if the would compare the sizes so you can get the right one) This way even if the Shock has a different length youcan compensate and won't know the difference. Its a shamen then that its not wholey original but sometimes that can't be helped.

ok thanks!

I could use the extended nut ..but then the spirng is still shorter and thinner than the original one..isn't that a problem; won't there be less shock absorbing power?

don't think so. it does work with your average p range, so i'd say should just be fine with the old one too, and unless i'm very much mistaken travel is about the same anyway.

Das ist übrigens ein Holländer.

Nur so zur Info. Ich kann zwar holländische lesen, sprechen und verstehen (je mehr Alkohol desto besser) aber mit dem schreiben klappst nichts o, also wird auf englisch geantwortet.

[vansantvoort]

thanks for the answers!

I guess nobody knows an adress where i can buy an exact replica of the shock?

at www.mauropascoli.it you´ll find a wide range of n.o.s. and remanufactured spares, that come close to the quality of the parts originally mounted, or in some cases even exceed these. The only thing is, the prices they´re asking are rather .... . But then again: you don´t get something for nothing.

All I can say is that I highly recommend them and I am pretty sure that you´ll find quite a few bits and pieces for VGL, that you woldn´t have expected....

ich habe bei meiner GL das gleiche Problem.

Um wieviel cm sind ist die vom GL länger als ein PX/Sebac Dämpfer?

Möchte einfach ein entsprechendes Distanzstück drauflegen.
