most people just pack the gap with washers.

you can upload photos to your archive by clicking on 'photo archive' above then using the 'choose file' and 'upload' buttons.

Are the shocks rose jointed or rubber bushes
If they are rose jointed you will need to fit sidespacers to allow the rosejoint to function, this will take up a bit of space either side, you might need a washer or two to complete the job.
Be aware also that most rosejointed shocks take a 1/2in unf bolt rather than a 12mm one, you may need to open the holes out slightly in your chassis/wishbone mounts

Get the correct thing from here

Yea thay are rose joints ones there is a massive gap tho .. Ill upload photo now to show you
I didn't want to finish an take it to Iva an bloke says what's with 10 washers over side for ??
Dan

Washers in that situation are perfectly acceptable for IVA I would think

There is a 10mm gap iver side
Ill try with washers now and see how it looks an feel

Iv tried it
It looks ok also looks crap I'm sure there is a better way of doing it . Cut the brackets down abit reweld so I can put a couple of washers in it instead of 20
Dan

Could you not cut down/turn off some crush tubes?
