Looking for some parts for my 1940 LaSalle - where to find them?

[MikeGerman]

Hey guys,
this is Mike from Germany!
I need some parts to keep my LaSalle Coupe from 1940 running!
Have looked at cadillacparts and kingdaddys page but did not found them there.
Waiting for email reply.
However, maybe you guys know where I can find a pair of shock absorbers for the front and all the rubbers and stuff for the front suspension.

Thanks for your help,
Mike

Hi Mike
Not really much rubber stuff in the front suspension but this seems a comprehensive kit.

As for shocks, what type do you have? The early ones had the valves internal and the later type the valve actually protrude outside.

There's a man here in the UK who rebuilds them for me for around £200 depending on condition.

By the way Mike, I do have a spare rebuilt pair of the later type, but they are both right-handed. I think they will still work with the top outer eccentric joint facing the other way?
