Top shock mounts, how do you guys do it?

[Chr!s]

Long time lurker...

Managed to win some TLT shocks off eBay, and I've turned them down and got them really shiny "thumbsup".

I'm mounting them onto my F350, as they are alot more scale.

However, I have hit a snag, I haven't got anything suitable to mount the top of the shock to the shock mount, that allows the shock the movement it needs.

The shock's hole is 4mm, and I'm mounting on 3mm bolts.


How do you guys do it?

Try putting a piece of fuel tubing from a nitro engine in the shock hole and put the screw through the fuel tubing. that is what i do and it works.

These might work.

X2 on the fuel tubing but watch when you tighten the nut down. If you get it to tight you might bind up the shock and lose some movement.
