Here is the assembled right-front corner. The top shock mount is welded to the grasshopper leg bar. This bar is welded to the chassis and the downtube. Notice the 6-inch weight-jack bolt. It will be traded in on a 4-inch model, which won’t hit the A-frame. Mounting directly over the spindle allows a No. 5 valve QA-1 shock to be used.
