I don't really understand modifying something to fit when the correct part is freely available, especially when it comes to things that hold you on the road.  ::)

rouge in my opinion the orig bedford mounting plates are not flash.. ive had a few of them break down on me left me limping my van home with only one front schocker in place..

the hq/ fc holden ones i recon are much more sturdy. you'll understand when you see them fitted..

i would go the holden ones if i were replacing schockers.

Maybe it was a problem with the earlier models because mine are pretty solid.
