Bob, You must have a special Home Depot in your area.  All of our California 
Home Depots just have clevis pins that are 2+" long with multi holes.  Ask for 
a specific size and you get the deer in the headlites look.

I now stock all of the correct sizes for a Sprite/Midget in my inventory at Ol 
Phartz Partz.  Try finding a 15/16" long clevis in the US.  Not!  Yes. a 1" 
will work but it is incorrect.  Not even Aircraft Spruce, or Moss, or VB have 
them.  They can't be bothered, so I have them.

Monty:

Two other suggestions:

Looks like you are using bolts instead of clevis pins to attach
        the rods to the eccentric fitting. The threads on the bolts will
        chew up the fitting and/or rods over time. Go to Home Depot and
        get the correct size clevis pins.

I don't see any u-bolt threads exiting the nuts on the bottom of
        the shock absorber mounting plate. Based on the forces exerted
        on the spring/rear end housing by all that horsepower, make sure
        you have full engagement or more of the u-bolts through the
        nuts. Nylock nuts, or split washers, or Lock-Tite would be good
        also.

OK, here are the pics.  I am embarrassed to say that I think I jumped the gun.  
I realized after I looked at it again, that I had the car jacked up with the 
jacks on the front leaf springs attachment plates.  So, the axle was hanging 
down and only supported by the straps.  So, the axle was hanging down further 
than it would if riding on the springs/shocks.  So, I jacked it up under the 
rear axle housing and now there is clearance.  Not alot, but there is 
clearance.  Thanks for the quick replies.  I am moving forward, slowly, but 
surely.
