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.

I would just fabricate limiting straps at the shock. It doesn't need to be too overengineered.

I don't want anything touching my shocks, so I won't consider that.

There is plenty of unused space inside the spring, why not use it? You could even use rope inside to limit travel. It would flex much easier than cable. I'd like to get a hold of some collapsing rods or pistons. Kinda of like a small shock but without any resistance. It would simply slide up and down silently with no chance of snagging anything. But I can't think any anything like that. Maybe small trailer shocks? Drill a hole in them to lose the oil and gas pressure. Just an idea.

I might swing by the wrecking yard, they might have a car ripped up enough to let me see in that area.
