Stu Pidasole's Build

Thanks larry.

Today im getting the mono mounts in.......not sure what im ganna do with the verticle supports yet. i hope the shock drops through the bottom...:laugh: ganna have to try it.

......

......mocked up.........

Much better than the bed frame shock mount Joe you may wish to add some little gussets from the cross brace to the frame. Nothing big, just to help strengthen against that tube from wanting to rotate up with the shock under compression

Kind of looks to me like you bound yourself a bit tight for the shock linkage

For the bottom linkage connector:

Use a curved piece formed to the cross tube. Weld your two tabs for the bolt to that curved piece. Bolt the assembly to the linkage. That will allow you to swivel it into correct position on the cross tube. Tack it, then look things over.


Here's a quick dirty sketch that should get the idea across.
