    Moderators, if this is out of topic, sorry, go ahead and delete.

    Question for those running accurair on your bagged rides. I am building a 53 chevy wagon with a Gambino notch and triangulated 4 link. I am at the point of installing the levers (corner sensors) and rods. it states i need to find a place with 3 to 4 inches of travel. I would like to get some info form those that have installed it (with a similar rear susp as I have). if you have any pic that would be great. I am having a difficult time finding a place to mount the rear corner sensors. (not much room back there )

    Weld long nuts (coupling nuts) on to the control arms, put the pivot balls on those, and put the sensors on the frame rails.

    Hi Boones,

    We've also had good luck with the combination of sensor brackets and shaft collars when it comes to tight spaces, you can find shaft collars on McMaster.com
    Hope this helps!

    Here is another photo using a bracket and a coupling nut as gimpyshotrods suggested.
