Default Quad shock mounting brackets

I've installed the rear-end in my CMC kit and found that I haven't got the quad-shock mounting brackets. I have a place that can bend up to 3/8" steel and need either blue prints or pictures with a scale or ruler next to them so that I can get them made up and continue on. Anyone in the upstate NY area that has this set-up in their CMC or Street beasts kit that I could take a look at?

Do you want the mounts for the frame or on the rear axle? I might have both if you want. I'm building a CMC myself and removed them. I had the axle narrowed 4" and they wouldn't fit.

Another question...does your gas tank fit?

I built the brackets myself, used 1 1/2" flat stock about 1/4" thick, the shock that faces rear is supposed to prevent the rear from swaying, it however does not prevent rearend rollup. I had to mount a snubber on top of the rear to stop this problem, when the rearend rolls up the wheels will hit the fenders and the drive shaft universal joints will hit against the rear yoke making a loud noise, it will only do this when you get on the gas heavy, I suggest you install a snubber to start with, I can make pictures of the brackets

I have a CMC kit also and don't have the quad shock brackets...Picts and measurements would be great. Or if you want to sell them let me know. Frame mounts are what I need.

I havent checked to see if my gas tank fits yet.....
