My first kit was like that. There were three pieces on each side. A
bracket in the wheel well, a bracket on the inside the tub and a third
that bolted to the shock mount on the frame. Aside from the 16 holes
needed in the coachwork and getting things aligned properly, the tires
rubbed.
Too soon old, too late smart.

Actually, I think the Blind Moose kit mounts just like that one. B I
have it on my TR4A, and it has been fine, but I also don't put a lot of
miles on it.
Bob Danielson has some pages on it, and a secondary brace that can be
added:

Run, don't walk, away from this conversion. This puts the shock
loading onto the inner wheel well which was not designed for this
loading. Instead use something like this:

This bracket puts the shock absorber loading directly onto the frame
mount for the lever shock. I've had this conversion on my car for 10+
years and I love it.

Subject: [TR] TR6 Rear Shock Conversion
All,
I know that there has been previous discussions on converting to tube
shocks
on the TR6, however, I have lost the previous emails and would like the
advice
of the group regarding converting and in particular using the 'Blind
Moose'
kit. It seems to me that it would tear loose at the mount points.
Regards,
Ed Morat
