If you want to run rotoflex rear without welding shock mounts to the 
inner wheel arch there is an option.Moss europe as well as TSSC offers 
sells frame extension brackets and special Spax shocks that mount 
outboard of the original spitfire location.These bolt in place.
I would like to hear from anyone who has tried these,as I am thinking of 
such a conversion.
Thanks,
