Chris. Without a sketch I'm struggling to imagine exactly what you want. As a general comment, is a feasible to make it from multiple elements and have a fabricator weld it together. You can leave it as is, if the weld is pretty enough, or hand finish to create a flush appearance.

There are plenty of shops who will do small jobs like that for a few dollars.

Hi Chris. I noticed in one of your posts that you said you turned your QA1 shocks upside down. It depends on the shock design inside if they will work upside down or not. I recently worked on a Corvette with QA1 shocks in it. If the shocks were laying on their side they didn't work.
I would remove the spring and sit the shock upside down for a few minutes.
Then stroke the shock in and out to see if there is any resistance.
I have worked in the competition shock industry for a few years. I could tell you about floating pistons, through shaft shocks and gas spring etc but that would only confuse the matter.
I hope this info helps you have a great result with your build.
Best regards
Bender
