ok so use the std bottom mount on the hub and come straight up? make a nice beefy mounting point for the top.

 

excellent thanks guys.

Just like to add, I believe the 111A has a separate boot, sides and back panel which is bolted to the monocoque tub. The purple bit B that I have roughly outlined in the pic. The sides, sloping bulkhead behind the seats and the boot floor are part of the monocoque in white A. The boot sides are bolted to the monocoque sides to attach the boot. Reinforcement for a rail to support the shocker should take in the monocoque sides, not just the boot sdes although these have already proved well attached, surviving the leverage of the present shock mount.

just above the spring to the right there is a row of 3 or 4 bolts through. Could I attach my mount there? I was going to use some angle with extra webbing on to strengthen it up a bit.

 

or is it better to pick up the roll bar mount up at the purple B? I guess the length of the new shock will decide.

I would look/be advised by other 3A owners and how theirs are fitted. Choose a solid mounting point for the top mount,set ride height and you should be able to measure the ideal shocker length which should be 1/3rd compressed at that position.

I have seen one modification that mounts the angle iron an inch higher up thus dropping the car and making the wheels sit higher in the arches.

Worth considering at this stage of the modifications
