I have a pair of Armstrong Lever arms from a 105E, I would like to use these on the back of my Austin 7, because I have got the car so low putting the shocks in the original position is unfeasible..........unless.......... I can turn them on their side and they will still work?  ? |

Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style.
Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble

It's a long time since I used lever shocks (it was on a 105E  ) Upright feels "right" but I don't know if it's the only way. If there is an airgap above the fluid, expect problems on their side. Good luck  |

In theory, I think they can be set on their side, assuming there is not an air gap as the oil will emulsify?, Just want a bit of clarification to if it will work, some BL cars use them on their side on the front suspension, but they are specific to that job.
