David,

Your top arms look OK. You will need to relieve metal around the redundant bump stops.

As Mike said Ian uses the spherical ended shocks which gives some amount of adjustment with spacers either side of the ball joint. I played with this for hours to get clearance correct so that there was no interference between the spring and control arms no matter what position they are in.

Ended up with different spacers for RH and LH.

Unfortunately the shocks mounts top and bottom did not end up in the centre of the chassis brackets.

With the style shock end you have you will probably get interference with the springs in full droop but should be OK at normal ride.

Its also important to relieve the top arm support to give clearance to spring.

Regards,

Phil
