Default Antigue Westinghouse needs help

Hi Guys! My aunt has a three wheel classic Westinghouse Serial #406270
possible model# 6793 ? Any one know what we have here? Is it a 1970?
Anyway, the poor thing's suspension is weak as a kitten. Coils and shocks mounted side by side in the rear, Anybody have cross-reference # for gas shocks or coils to stiffen this daily user? PS. Cart has a huge 4.5 hp 36v stock motor and is built like a tank. Thanks for any input! scottyb

None.. lol. most of the guys who know a lot about those cars aren't exactly computer savvy.

I think your best bet on the shocks is to take one off and run to an auto parts store... the rest of the stuff, I'm pretty clueless on... sorry.

Are the front end body panels flat and squared off or one big panel kinda rounded? Double check those first 3 numbers.

roady, thought I posted reply here but, don't see it now?

yes, front end is kind of a tappered square. 406270 were pretty clear on the serial but the model # was rubbed off. The tag is at the floor where your heel may rub if you tucked your foot back to the seat base while crrusing your 3 wheeler.
in addition someone had put a sticky printed # 6793 on the tag area? I assumed it to be a model # but, who knows what it is?
Vintagecarts had listed shocks. OEM. Since then I have gotten some Par rear springs that I am going to cut and paste into the rear which may change the shock requirements.
Thanks for any info. Just wanted to be able to id the year.

Got some pics of the Westinghouse. Was told it is a 1951......?
But it's cool - check out the bumper bar that runs all the way around the cart! It has a hand brake that actually depresses and locks the foot pedal. Key and F/R on the drivers exterior of the cart. Old style
