I want to convert the rear lever shocks on my 49 to tubular types. I have a set of brackets I removed from a wrecked frame but am wondering about their placement on the 49 frame. Is there a template available to show where they mount. I have replaced the front and used measurments from a later model for a drilling guide. If I cannot buy a template then I am thinking of making a one for the rear which would come from a later frame. How critical are these measurements? Would a 1/4 or 1/2 inch off cause a problem?

Good question oldblu49. I don't have your answer but am interested in the responses that you get as this is something that I will be doing one day.

Jim Carter has the templates for the holes. The next question would be where the template sits.
