New idea for front upper shock mount on 1/6th Jeep
 

I was racking my brains a few weeks ago, trying to come up with a way to move the upper front shock in as close as possible to the body for tire sidewall clearance. I played around with a few ideas, then hit on this one. I retrofitted my orange Jeep with these, they seem to work well. I can't think of any other way to move the shocks inboard any more without cutting into the body.

Feel free to copy these for your own projects."thumbsup"

construction is simple, I drilled and tapped some 3/16" solid rod for M3, then brazed it onto a 1/8" thick flat plate that had 2 screw hole tapped for M3. I ran the screws from inside of the engine bay. They seem to be working pretty good.
