[DeTomaso] Todd attic parts question for the collective - now Ariston shocks

[B. Seib]

Actually DeTomaso was still using the Aristons in April of 1972, so they
lasted well past 1971 production, but I don't know how much past April 1972.

Only the black-painted Ariston shocks (originally built under licence from
Koni) from the '71s can be rebuilt. The far more common blue '72-up Telecar
shocks, when worn out, are worthless. Pat Mical at Future Auto in MA has
occasionally rebuilt and even added adjustable-height spring perches to the
Aristons. But even after all this, modern gas-pressurized Konis will work
better and will have adjustable damping at little more cost than rebuilt but
no-adjustable-damping OEMs. 'Course, the Aristons will be "stock" so are a
benefit for show cars.   Good luck- J Deryke
