Necessary is always a point of contention.  For me it definitely is
necessary.  Since I have no place to mount the shocks (I'm putting a Mk1
Spitfire body on the GT6 chassis), I have to have something.  I think
that I can manufacture the single piece bracket for less than I can buy
the two piece bolt-on ones from TSSC, so if others are interested, I can
help them out as well.  The way I see it is, "You can't have too many
options!"

Regards,
Joe
