I did start of with lumps of wood as dummy shocks but they are slowly getting replaced by 25 x 25 box section as they break.
I just drilled 2 x 1/2" holes in it about 12" apart and trimmed it just after the hole so I would guess they were about 13" long. Last edited by james3004 : 17th July 2011 at 05:22 PM.

If I was to do it again I would use fibreglass sides, it was a pain to bend the folds on the front, I'm glad I'm painting them so I can fill the imperfections

I was told not to use the brake line bracket on the chassis upright, but to put a bulkhead fitting in th side panel as the former is an IVA fail. Looking good though.

I would have thought that having a bulkhead fitting on the bracket would be more secure than having one on the side panel
