We made them from F1 upper mounts that were heated and bent, then we made a 1/4" plate in the shape of the lever shock to mount to the frame. It also has a doubler plate on the back side of the rail that increases the stiffness of the section some. The lower mounts are two tabs welded to the wishbone right where the forging is welded to the tube. The photo of the lower mount is old....from before we swapped out the mock-up fastener for something more original looking.

It tucks behind the axle, but still clears the fenders and most challenging the draglink.
