Surprise! Surprise! There were more than a few variations for the 45 HUP knee action shock (KAS) arms.

Bob and I laid out three KAS to compare. All three had a centre to centre (of the holes) measurement of 8.5 inches. However, all three had different bends to the arms - particularly at the thick end that attaches to the KAS pivot...could they have gotten bent? More head scratching...

Since my HUP was a collection of rebuilt and adapted parts, I don't know what the original KAS should look like. The KAS I got from Angus B look original, but were they pulled off something else? I guess the best thing to do is to ask other 45 HUP owners if they can measure their KAS arms and send the dimensions...any help will be appreciated and rewarded (beer at the next CC!)

I'll be one happy Rotter when I finish the Metal Mistress (the wife's name for the HUP).
