Is anyone making rear shock mounts for the straight axle conversion on lowered buses with no reduction boxes?

There were some being sold on here, but they didn't work Confused

Gonna have to make some, or just cut some upper mounts off a later bus and weld on, it's pretty straight forward

Is that just a spacer with a nut welded in? Looks like the shock will be mounted on the outside of the frame member..
