Creative engineering makes them, bolt on or weld them.

I really like their IRS system exept, I have to find a 68-69 bus to yank the bits off of.

Pillow,

Use Russ's top shock mounts - or if you have a lathe make your own. They are a piece of 20mm round stock about 25mm in length and tapped in the centre which you weld to the underside of the chassis rail, where the u shaped support is. I then used Mini front shocks due to the reduced distance.

Anything else will knock the bushes out of the shocks rapidly

Russ doesn't charge a lot for these

Paul F, what shox are you using?

Some Gabriel Red rider austin mini front shocks. Apparently they are 50% uprated - I got mine for 10 quid each from Brown Brothers - some guys on a mini forum recommended them. I removed the steel insert from the bushes and then pressed in the ones I had removed from the beetle rear cofaps I had previously.

No problem, I recommend you speak to Oldspeed for the sway awat driveshafts cheap cheap!

T3D supplied the '68/'69 parts, along with a pair stock T2 driveshafts, is there an issue with the length, did I hear?
