    just used two small sheet metal screws (ill get a pic latter) it gets pretty hot i let it run for about three hrs last night and it didn't melt the housing at all so i think it'll be alright.

    new rear shock tabs different then my old ones in that the shock eye is perpendicular to the axle v.s parallel to the axle, did this because the hemi joint in the lower shock eye was binding up limiting the my flex.
