Kokomo friction shock help

Post by csnailnrun » Tue Oct 27, 2020 11:28 am

Who has some knowledge about these and how they are mounted? To state the obvious, It looks like I have two front and one rear.

These were soaked in EvapoRust for 24hrs. I didn’t take a before picture but impressive to say the least.

Haven’t seen that type before, but here is patent drawing, Jan. 1926. Inventor assigned it to Kokomo Automotive Mfg. Co.
