anyone running madman shock brackets or wolfe door panels? I need pics of your installs on both if possible.
one question on the madman shock mounts. it comes with a set of spacers, are these spacers meant to be placed on the outsides of the shock bushings? I have QA1 "R" series shocks in the rear and with the shock in there and the rubber bushings there is only room for one of the supplied spacers, anyone with more info or advice on that would be greatly appreciated.
On the Wolfe door panels, I looked at them today and was just wondering how some of you ran the wires for doors/window etc and just wanted to see a few pics of them installed on other cars.
Thanks, Matt

skipper i'll get you pics within a few hours... just dealt with the EXACT same problem..... solved it by using a flat washer instead of the ones in your pic..... didn't seem like it would affect anything since all the space was taken up, the shock wasn't shifting around and the washer fully engaged the metal sleeve that goes inside the shock bushing....
Madman, this is what i called about.. the shock brackets might need to be widened a few mm's cuz I tried and tried and there was no way two of those were going in there without god's assistance...

I see that on thunder's site there is a pic of the bracket installed with an afco shock and a heim joint at the shock with those spacers like pictured. Maybe i was sent the setup for an afco rear shock, since i'm using QA1s for the time being i think i'll probably just figure out the space on either side and make some spacers at work this week.
Outlaw, what about the hole on the bracket, did you bolt it to the housing as well as weld it? Looks almost like its splined for a stud of some kind like a wheel hub.

the shock relocates come with spacers. QA1 has changed the width or their lower grommets so the spacers could be too thick. You guys have figure3d out the remedy and I will now include both thickness spacers.
Feedback from customers allows me to do more R&D and keep my products up to snuff. Thanks guys.

yeah as far as i could understand the hole is designed to line up with the stock hole and you put a bolt/nut combo thru it to hold it on there for welding.... didn't see any other usage for it..... worked great during welding...
Yeah MM, the bushings are definitely too thick for that washer to slide up in there... one will fit but definitely not two.... so either thinner washers or wider bracket is the only option....
skipper and MM here was my fix for it... ignore the washers on the outside. they are only temporary till i get grade 8 washers that are the same size as the ones on the inside... i just gotta go to my local hardware store and pick em up.... the ones that MM sent with the brackets designed to go on the outside i used on the inside....

i have double adjustable stanges on the back and the only issue i see in my case was the adjuster **** on the back of the shock is comming in contact w/ the mount on the rear. i'm gonna take a closer look at it when i get the rear back from being narrowed, any body else have this issue?

ahhhhh that would explain it..... maybe one reason to step up to the AFCO double adjustables where the **** is one at the bottom and one at the top.... didn't know the stranges were like that...
