[QUOTE="tomcat404, post: 349484, member: 7485"] right gents i need your thoughts on how to mount the shocks please. They are currently mounted on single sheets of laser cut 5mm and then cycled to ensure they clear and use the full travel of the shocks. I have 1 x 14" triple bypass and 1x 14" 2.5 coilover in each corner and these mounts need to be rock solid. Do i laser cut another 3 sides for each corner and make box mounts with dimpled gussets to hold both shock in double shear? and then panel them in? or do i tube the mounts and save a little bit of weight? I need to consider the winches front and rear and i also want to brace the mounts against each other on the back and on the front, brace them across as part of a tube engine cradle? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
