[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 53827, member: 2879"] I'm getting to the tail end of a decades long project of resurrecting a '48 B Rapide, and thought I would share photos of the Thornton setup for Bramptons I will be using. This was the initial fitting before I disassembled the forks for repaint and Patzke taper bearing installation. The spring preload is not done yet, so ignore the position of the adjusters. I want to thank Dave Molloy and Ted Leno for their help in getting me the information I needed to fabricate the top and bottom mounts. Dave has to modify this shock for the B front by adding an internal spacer to limit travel, and the mounts have to be just right as the space is quite limited. Ted had gone through this before me and provided a source for the clevis's, though they still need to be modified considerably to work. Ron [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
