Run, don't walk, away from this conversion.  This puts the shock
loading onto the inner wheel well which was not designed for this
loading.  Instead use something like this:

This bracket puts the shock absorber loading directly onto the frame
mount for the lever shock.  I've had this conversion on my car for 10+
years and I love it.

All,

I know that there has been previous discussions on converting to tube
shocks
on the TR6, however, I have lost the previous emails and would like the
advice
of the group regarding converting and in particular using the 'Blind
Moose'
kit.  It seems to me that it would tear loose at the mount points.

Regards,

Ed Morat
1973 TR6
