<VV> Rear BOUNCE on an EM

[Matt]

I’ve always  had to finder different shocks for the rear of BOTH  EM’s I’ve owned…  Even in the 70’s  Flaps  spec’d the same PN  for front and rear…  No Way!

Most likely because  the spec is for a “normal” rear shock and it is valved for a much lighter  load than the rear engined Corvair.
If you could locate a front shock that would work on the rear of an Early it would  probably solve the issue.
