I am looking for suggestions (and hopefully some pictures) for front upper tube shock mounts. I bought a kit that is quite common but I don’t like the upper mount (like Speedway’s 91636001) it seems awkward when angled to match the laid back shock that the 4” drop axle causes (I may not be making any sense at all but I’m trying). I like the look etc of the F-1 type mount such as Speedway’s 91036006 but am unclear if that will work with fenders? It seems to me that that type of mount should work well if it was bent enough to clear the fender. Pictures of different****emblies are hard to find and looking at a one dimensional picture on a website is not a lot of help either.
Yeah those should work. I believe @IronTrap most recent video has them putting a similar style shock mount onto the front of their 32 Tudor project which also has fenders. It’s gonna take some heating and bending but should work just fine!
Tim, if you could post a link to that video I would appreciate it, I can’t seem to locate it. I did find a video that shows them installing original F1 mounts on a RPU but there are no menders on that one.
There ya go. It’s the first thing after the intro. It’s not exactly what you’re doing but it’s close enough to get the general idea of the space avalible and work required.
