If those are the same sort of brackets sold by the TSSC, the stockshocks won't
work. You have to purchase a specific shock to use with that bracket. The
shock mount brackets I designed will in fact use the stock Rotoflex shocks.

Rimmer Bros has brackets you can buy to move the shock mounts on bodies
that have rotted out wheel arc mounts - bolts to the frame where the upper
shock bolts to it on roto cars - you could then use your current shocks -
otherwise, standard Spit/GT shocks should work - they did the longer ones to
clear the roto joints - best bet is to try and keep the shocks as upright as
possible, provides better shock movement (up/down) and more direct response by

Greetings FOT,
<div>
On my GT6 MK3 racecar, (rotoflex
halfshafts have been replaced with Datsun u-jointed shafts), I'd like
to relocate the rear upper shock mount from the standard wheel arch sheet metal
mount inboard to the frame, using the mounting points already there for the
spitfire/gt6 swing axle shock mounts. Since the big rotoflex joints
aren't there, it looks like I'll have plenty of clearance.

This will shorten the distance between mounting points significantly, I
expect the Rotoflex length shocks will bottom out. Does anyone know if
the "off the shelf" swing axle length shocks (Koni or Spax) will work for this?
