Can you not make another bracket to suit the diff end and run some new Monroe shocks?

Nah- I was on my iMac at home- I'm on my iPhone now and can see it fine. I reckon there is room for the reservoir based on the photo you posted. Worst case might require some clearancing of the mount, but not much.

Ok, so hoW do I know which one I would want. 6"...14" IS that travel or Extended Legth? EL is the most important measurement for this type of setup.
I really don't think a fixed reservoir would fit. Would have to cut out some of the shock tower and I think that would be a no no.
I asume that the stem adapter can be fitted at either end?

Custom made by someone who I cannot name. I was told they were CroMoly but they are not, which is why one bent and the other broke 2 weeks ago. So now they are straightened and repaired.

If you push it back to far, you get the body of the shock (body at bottom) closer to the tower surround in the upper half of the stroke I would think.
Also. I note that there is a little space above the chassis on the inswide of the shock tower. I wonders if the reservoir of the 5150's would sit neatly in that space. Its only about 60~70mm though. Would depend on the distance between the mounting point and the bottom of the reservoir.

So with the sort of driving we do, are the 5160's or even 5150's of any benefit?
