Shock mounting bracket width
As per subject, I don't have my shocks yet, but want to get the brackets mounted to the chassis for them (not standard "U" type
mounts).
So, how wide do I make the brackets, i.e. is 20mm enough for your average GAZ, AVO, spax etc, shock mounting?
I would hate to weld these in place to find out they are too tight for the shocks
 but I don't want to have to use loads of spacers to install them either.
So if anyone could measure theirs for me that would be great 
Cheers
Alex

Across the bush my Gaz is 35mm so 20mm will not be enough.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

35mm glad i asked now, i'll aim at 40mm to be safe then.
Thanks

Cheers John,
I reckon I'll make them 40mm and then just make spacers to suit whatever shocks I end up buying
