theres little leverage cause the suspension is pushing in similar direction to the mounts, so its only really trying to push them vertically off the subframe, and dont under estimate the subframes, they are heavy great lumps (hence im gonna re make then in CDS tube).
also im putting considerably less force in that what they take as standard as the hydragas was very close to the pivot, i think the hydragas had something like a 2000LB/inch spring rate, but was about 1/5 ratio, mines are not far off on the end of the arm.
petrol tanks needs re making, alot of this i have only learned the hard way, but thats a nature of the game!
