    You weren't looking in the correct place, I got a set from my regular specialist repairer (who also wrecks vehicles) the first time I asked.

    For the bottom mounts, you could try someone like the Airbag Man in QLD (AIRBAG MAN | Australia's No. 1 & leading Air Suspension :: Airbags :: Air Springs Specialists) who makes kits for converting Defenders to EAS.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I was looking closer to home for most of that time.
    Those lower shock mounts would do the job, but I want something a little stiffer and stronger.

    The Airbag man also does complete kits to move the shock mounts. I would assume the top mount would be a similar grade metal to the lower mount.

    It's not the grade of metal, it's the geometry. Flat plates supported on one or two edges only don't do it for me.

    I'm looking at moving the front shock position to gain room under the bonnet in the 110 the only concern I have is in hard use whilst using a shock tower that allows the shock to run outside the spring such as terrifirma ones is the leverage it would place on the spring perch and eventually cause metal fatigue...however i have I may be over thinking the situation?
