The BBS Forum saved me yet again. I unwrapped the SABEC rear shock that I bought a couple years ago and saw right away it was 2 inches shorter than the existing one. Once again, due to the 10" wheels on my odd little T4. I thought I would either have to buy another new shock (if I could find one) or rebuild the existing rusted out one.
A kind soul pointed out that I could buy an extender for the SABEC and still use it. Fantastic! And he provided a link to a site in Georgia I hadn't seen before. Very good shipping prices.
So... Cleaned the whitewalls tonight, Front hub will have new bolt this week, front spring is getting powder coated, picking paint color and maybe get the scooter painted this week. Just gotta finish the carb rebuild (again) and wait for the paint to be done and start putting it all back together in times for its 50th birthday Party! It would be very cool to have it together by the first day of Summer...

Don't be afraid to ask. And make sure you have the stomach for the answer! It all looks pretty good, so far. At least, better than I did when I did up my first Vespa in Dyersburg, TN. I didn't have the ScooterBBS then.
