I think I need to adjust the mounting point at the top where it attaches to the body. There is another mounting point that will giv; /html/mgs/2004-11/msg00163.html (8,034 bytes)
2. Re: Tube shocks on MGC (score: 1): Author: <ptegler@cablespeed.com>; Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 19:28:08 -0500; When I mounted my tube shocks on my BGT I didn't use the plate at all. I simply put a long bolt through the frame at the orig. front mount hole. Works fine and ride feels right. http://www.teglerizer; /html/mgs/2004-11/msg00164.html (8,286 bytes)

The difference being with the former it doesn't matter, but with the latter it certainly would. I wouldn't expect them to be mar; /html/mgs/2004-11/msg00165.html (8,085 bytes)

I think the idea of a plate is to spread the forces around more. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Mountain View, CA, it's the primer red one with; /html/mgs/2004-11/msg00166.html (8,063 bytes)

Moving the mounting point will not give the shock more travel, unless you have the wrong shocks on the car (too long). The travel is dictated by the rest o; /html/mgs/2004-11/msg00167.html (8,939 bytes)

Generally it's some kind of stud set into the subframe, on a unibody. I wasn't worried about it loosening up, particularly, but of it stressing the pan; /html/mgs/2004-11/msg00171.html (8,867 bytes)

I reversed the mounting plate up top on the body of the car. I attached the shock to the forward most nut that is welded to the plate (towards the front of the car).
