Yes Rick. I just moved them both inboard of the frame. It was rather easy. My car had traction bars when I brought it home. I just swapped sides and moved the shock mount tab from the front position on one to the rear. That way both are mounted from the rear. Also, the thick top factory flanges are only held on with two spot welds and an inner flange bolt the two halves togther. Just drill the spot welds out, pop the upper flange off, move to inboard location. Drill out the hole so that the bottom flange will mate to the upper....think it was like 1 1/8". I just located my center with a 1/4" bit and used a rotary file for a perfect fit.

This is all temporary so that I can continue to enjoy my car whilst doing upgrades. So far its made the 15 mile trip home each night.
