Hi Bob,

... This is the idea, how i imagine the damper-fixture will be installed. The shock in the picture are just a dummy, and will not be used.

I talked to some "car-guys" and they routed me in to a interesting part of this issue . They showed me some high quality shocks, used for special comp-applications that looks promising for this experiment. Basically, you can adjust the dampening caracteristic without disasammble the shock ,and thereby easier find the best basic setup. (4-step adjustment by rotating 1-4 holes in the piston)Then, if the shock don`t work as you want, you replace internal parts and start all over. In other words, there should be some possebilitys to get this work ...
I do not know the weight of this specific shock`s, but similar construction weight about 10gr. ( spring, preload-bracket removed;not needed).So, if i can get a complete installation down to appr 15 gr pr side, it`s acceptable.

Well, there is no guaranty at all, some experiment`s work`s other don`t ... But anyway, i like to do this, part of the game !
