    Seat Shock Compressor

    This is my version of a sport seat shock compressor. Worked well.

      Nice, you buy the kit form nine stitch or from elsewhere? Or were you just reusing your existing shocks? I'm buying some soon to fix mine, and I'll have to setup a contraption like this.

          I ordered the shocks through FCP Euro. I modded a cheap 8 inch C clamp. The specialized tool certainly would work the best if you don't mind spending $80.

              LOL to the above post - as I bought one of these Irwin single hand trigger clamps for the seat shocks.

              ONE‑HANDED BAR CLAMPS Sometimes, all you need to get the job done is one hand. IRWIN QUICK-GRIP® One-Handed Bar Clamps offer the right fit, features, and pressure for any clamping job-- from the smallest project to large scale cabinetry. Featuring non-marring face pads that protect workpieces while evenly distributing clamping force. Whether it’s a small side project or large‑scale woodworking, QUICK‑GRIP® One‑Handed Bar Clamps have you covered.


              Worked well and now this clamp is my first use around the house.
