[6pack] Rear tube shock conversion

[Stan Foster]

It took over 10 years to do it but eventually the leverage from that bolt on rear shock conversion bracket tore the side out of the flimsy sheet metal cross member.

An old topic,  but came up recently from the mgb side of my club     john twist of university motors has a video cautioning folks with this mod on their b to check the bolts on their conversion brackets.   I checked this on my 6 and all 4 bolts were nicely tight after many years. Also, no frame cracking that I could see.    After some of the horror storis about this conversion,   I might not do it again
