Can anyone tell me what is above the rear spring mounts? The sheetmetal has some large dimples to center the spring but on the inside, there seems to be straight sheetmetal (the area right behind the shocks). Is there a double layer of sheetmetal here? I want to bolt something to the dimple in the center of the spring mount to act as a suspension limiter, but I can't figure out the design.
I know the gas tank is inboard of the springs and is out of the way. Maybe I could cut some access panels into the upper panel of sheetmetal (if indeed it uses 2 layers) then screw a cover panel back over it? Any info or help would be appreciated. Jason |

QUOTE (JasonWW @ Sep 10 2004, 08:30 PM) Randy, you have a removable panel, I think, just above the factory fuel tank sending unit. Is there a second panel of metal underneath it? There is NO SECOND layer where my panel is located.....but there may be over there....can't see over there with the tank.... |
