hahahaha thats so sexy.
Adding on to the welding bit, lengthening that bottom part will also mean that more stress is put onto the weld/bottom of the strut (think of it like a lever point....)Quote:

Id be tempted to leave the standard bracket on the shock body, and then weld an extension piece on the end, drill two new holes for the bolts. That way you have plenty of thick metal to play with, and could even cut off and start again if something went wrong.
Like so:

If you will be adding enough metal to drill new holes in that is.
James - we (Me & Kris) totally agree with you, and also mentioned about the problems you could incur when welding the shock body itself, and as you say - I wouldn't like to do this.
I was thinking like Adams diagram, but as he's stated... if we're only looking for mm, then you'd struggle, as the hole is 10mm in diameter I think... so you'd need the "tab" to be at least... 14mm in width (at a minimum)
hubba hubba me like's.
I wish you would stop raising the bar as i will never reach it now gggggrrrrr.
that looks sweet :thumb:
with the options on the shock/spring probs would it be posible to elongate the holes on the hub or the shock and run a spacer to give it more support?
might be a rubbish plan its been a long day:tard:
welcome to man sized lowness mr olly
