I do see there is a kit available at Speedway that also comes with the shocks, it also appears to be a better design. The current one just has a bolt welded to a tower like structure that mounts with two bolts to the frame, I figure with the one bolt on top there is a lot of shear force on that one bolt. The Speedway bracket splits to two bolt holes instead of just the one bolt sticking out of the bracket.
I believe Bob Drake also has the rear tube shock kit, i have his front kit which was cheaper than having the lever shocks rebuilt. Mark
