A little bit of masking tape on the frame make accurate marking of the holes so much easier

I used 3 1/4" bolts to get the 1 7/8" shank I needed to clear the brackets and then trimmed the length once they were fitted. I was going to weld the brackets in place but I'm not sure I need to? Anyway I now have more stroke on the shocks than travel on the suspension

Today is my Birthday so I've taken the day off, the problem is the next job on the list is the brake pipes I hate doing brake pipes, so I may spend my birthday doing something else

The good thing about birthdays (at my age) is that I find people are more supportive of my bad habbits

Shock mounts came out great! …and it's hard to beat a box of cubans...
Happy Belated Mate!...
