I don't have wheels at the moment. So on the build stands. But I did fit the shock without the spring to allow me to excercise the wishbone up and down with the shock bolted in place and everything moved nicely and the rose joints allowed the shock to change angle slightly with the change in hub height. I changed the top bolt for slightly longer ones than marlin supplied. The shear strength of a low grade 1/2 inch bolt is around 6 tonnes. So I can't see there being any problems with this set up. However I will take some measurements and pictures and ask some of the design engineers at work to have a look tomorrow!
