I plan to fill that area to be part of the complete fish plate on the sides.  I'll fill the top back in all the way to the up right.  Also going to put tabs on the top of the trailing arm bracket and tabs on the side of the up right and build a rod end arrangement that will tie the two together.  That way any pulling force will transfer back to the heavier plated up right also.
Personally I don't see a need after you do the other work. It won't hurt but I see little need. Again ,just personal opinion, but I think it all stems from that missing area you will tend to now.  Bdkw and I see it the same ,I think.

I'm really hoping I've overkilled my cooling issues. 

Seems they lasted a long time to be from torque loading.  I'd guess the shocks bottoming out.  Still a great find, just in time.

You were close to looking like Mo. Ron at Glamis that time. No back wheels at all.

Will this sucks.  Went on line yesterday to order up the parts for my shock and lo and behold Fox aint got my eyelet for the my .875 shaft. Sent the order in and about five hour's later they send my a email with the bad news.   I ask if they new of any of there dealers had one they said no.  Looking for this piece.  Anyone have one laying around they don't need.  I will have a 7/8x14 thread in it.

I wonder how they figure the difference center to center eye?  They have a .875 with a 1.680 and one that is 2.225. Any one know where they figure the center to center from?

well my guess would be ( just my guess) but the 2.0 air has a 1.25 shaft then there's your .875 shaft then there is 1 smaller shaft yet. tech i think there is a 4th shaft size but might only be on shock absober only.  i would call mark and ask and you might even be able to make one work of another brand that speedway motors sells. king always seem to be the odd one out on valving and parts to me anyways.

I'm thinking it is a measurement form the center of the eye to base of the eyelet.  I'm trying to confirm that now.  I can see they have one for the different size shafts. I think they sell one that mite be longer to stand the spring pad of the shock higher off the mounting point. 

Edit to say that like a fool I forgot to bring my old eyelet to work with me so I cant do some measurements on it.

If I have not found one by tonight That will happen.  I'm betting that one that is machined from a nice piece of 7050T351 would be a whole lot stronger then there cast one.

So far as I know there is a short and long eye available. Longer would be the oddball AFIK.
