Steve: you indicate below that if you had it to do over again, you would go
with the Putzke shock conversion over the Cape kit. Can you tell us what
your thinking is on that score?

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Koni rear mount design vs Cape
I've had the Cape rear kit installed for several years and even though the
bottom mounts were bent by the inclusion of too-short shocks, the top mount
IMHO is a good design and shows no distortion whatever.
The Cape kit is similiar to the Koni drawings except it replaces the two
small lengths of angle steel with a full width piece approximately 3 ft
long. For pictures, see:

However having said this if I had it to do over again I'd go with the Putzke
kit.
