shocks for a 3-wheeler

[COURTESYCART]

I have a customer that has an old EZGO 3-wheeler that he is restoring.

Model # -- X440-4GE
S/N # -- 744X1340
MFG # -- 474-1442E

I am trying to locate frt shock for this cart. Rear shocks are not an issue. Nievel has them. Frt shock part number is 12381G1, Rear is 13270G1.

I was wondering if the rear shocks would work in the frt. the rear's are about 1/2 longer. I am wondering if the rear shocks will bottom out if he put them on the frt. I am hoping someone on here has more experience on this style cart than me.

Any help will be greartly appreicated.

also need some rear drums. Nievel shows them in the catalog, but is there any other source?

Check the site-sponsors.The drums are the same for 3 and 4 wheelers,just the year makes a difference.I may have a front-end,i'll look later this week when i get out back.

That's $50 for the pair.

On my 3 wheeler I used mini-bike shocks with the spring on them for the front wheel. i got them at Northern tool Co. They were about $30.00 for the pair. they were a close fit with just a little effort.

I will let you know. Thanks. I am not sure how this customer is going about restoring his cart. I will give him a call and get back with you.

These are the ones w/o the coil over spring correct? His cart is an older one with the spring mounted above the tire and just regular shock. He is thinking its a 74 model.

No. These have the spring surrounding the shock.

Let's hear if you found a good resource for a replacement shock? The best price I found for a stock replacement was $75 each. I would like to know if there is a less expensive one off a car, ini bike, whatever. I have a 86 Marathon 3-wheeler.
