Default Shock mount diameter

Hi
i'm after the size of the end of a shock absorber on the rear of a Roadster(lower mount), I'm thinking about fitting a rose joint to the top of the upper book spec rear wishbone rather than the bush, the reason is because I want to fit rose bearings on the lower wishbones inboard so I can adjust the toe angle, i think there is just over 42mm from the rear upright upper wishbone camber mount to the shock mount, the standard camber diameter is 33.7mm tube, the rose bearing will be larger, just want to know how big it could be without clashing.

If you could let me know the shock manufacturer the size is also please.

Any information appreciated.
Cheers
Lee

The wishbone brackets are 44mm, but the coilovers mounts are 34mm.

Hi Jason
Just to clarify the two holes are approximately 42mm apart, if you look from the side the holes are imagine a figure eight, the lower hole has a 33.7mm bush from centre and the upper has a 34mm shock mount so the gap between the two is approximately 8mm, is that correct?
If so the maximum size rose joint I could use is <50mm?

Thanks
Lee
