Hi Larry, you can take a look at a few photos of my '73 GT
tube shock conversion.
http://www.teglerizer.com/mgstuff/tubeshocks.htm
I have photos from underneath with a few comments about
some clearance issues with the Peco 2" exhaust I use.
there are links to the other two 'big' sites that have info
and detailed descriptions of the shocks and other stuff.

Subject: Progress on my rear end
>Yesterday I found a GSLSE rear end at a local pick and pull.

>1) While I'm at it, I'll probably want to go to tube shocks.
>What is involved in the tube shock conversion? Is it a bolt on?

>2) My normal welder is moving this week, then going on vacation for

>3) Likewise, I'll need to find someone to cut down the half shafts to
