looking good.
Hi Vince. Good point on the 45. I was worried about shock body clearance and figured boxing in the top side would be enough but you're right. I should be able to 45 that.

On the bolt sizing.. I'm using a 1/2" grade 8 with 3/4" OD 1/2" ID bushings. one bushing gets welded to the mount and the other slides through the 3/4 hole as a press fit so there's tension on the shock bearing.
