Default Installation Help

OK Guys,

As you may or may not know, these are Losi front and rear shock mounts that fit into the area of the lower swing arm where you would ususally install the bottom of the shock. I will have to do some slight modification of the lower swing arm to make them fit, however, I'm wondering how to secure them properly? They have two threaded holes that I should be able to screw into from the bottom. I don't really want to use plain washers, I was thinking of maybe getting a couple of small pieces of CF or alluminium and shaping them to fit flush inside the indentation of the lower side of the swing arm.

The reason for the installation of these on my Kyosho MP7.5 Kanai II is that I'm running 16mm big bore Hong Nor shocks and they rub against the dog bones as you can see in the last picture.

Your thoughts, as always, are highly appreciated.

Thanks

Edit - Here's also a picture of what it's eventually supposed to look like.
