I just got my front Radflo 2.5 remote reservoirs. The order for all 4 shocks shipped in two boxes and i only have the first box with the fronts. I was told it would include a mounting bracket that i hope is in the second box. But regardless the bracket just gets screwed in wherever you want it. Does anyone have any pictures of where they mounted reservoirs on the 80? I think on the rear they lay them parallel to the axle pointing inboard? the front is a little tighter. pictures would be great!
On a side note when measuring extended length what is the standard place to measure? I would imaging it would be from center to center of where the body sits. Front would be easy, just in the middle of the bushings that sandwich the body and axle, right?
Edit. looking at the front a little bit looks like ti might work well to run the reservoir up through the area that has rubber "sheet" gaskets in the wheel well into the engine compartment. That would keep them cleaner and keep them safer from crap and tire rub. But they might get warmer as well. Do you think ambient air temp is a big deal? Inside engine compartment compared to upper spring mount area temps?
