Chris,
The ARP bolts are an excellent suggestion. I used grade 8 but still had the
head clearance problem. I will change to ARP.
Thanks... Harold

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Rear Shock Mounting Bolts
Thanks Curt.
I used arp stainless high tensile 170,000 psi bolts, with an undersized hex
head, so there is no issue getting a socket on them. I also made up a
thicker tapered washer so I could apply as much clamping force to the shock,
spread over as big an area as possible.
And the back is a drilled piece of mild steel with 2 nuts welded on.
Once the nuts are captive, all the effort can be applied to torquing the
bolts up.
Best
Chris

Hey Chris,
That's an elegant solution.

Here is my fix for rear shocks.
Once you make the rear nuts captive, you can concentrate on doing them up
tight.
