I looked for my pics but cant find them.....and Bill, as you know the credit should go more to you as they were built from your findings...Basicly the Disco 2 got it right. Have a look under one and see the angle of the top rear mount...I am yet to see anyone sell a bolt on rear upper mount that duplicates this angle.
The standard retaining plate for the coils are to thin. By the looks of your coil it is thick wire and when retained would put a lot of strain on the retainers. I think you need a lighter weight coil so it will open up easier and fit heavy duty retaining plates
I'm fairly certain that we were working independantly on parralell lines Serg, as I don't recall posting anything very specific about my solution because its very difficult to describe the orientation without pics or drawings.Quote:

OK, I will climb overs the neighbours fence and dodge the rather happy but woofy Lab and try and get a sneaky peek at there D2 ;)
So the Terra Firma shock mounts that use Pin types are no good? Like this

Not that I would get that specific make, just an example. These seem to relocate the top pin slightly aft wards.
Gwynn Lewis make some awesome mounts, including one that gives you three different options for the angle of the shock. But you will require pin/pin shocks to use them.
