Here's a pic of a local car that's under construction.

I don't have a side view, but the shock mount is a bolt-on that looks similar to the F1 front shock mount and it has a right angle to it where it transitions from the vertical to the horizontal for the top shock eye.

I think it may be an F1 rear shock mount, but am not sure.
Regardless it's been tweaked a bit.

Here's another pic that's a bit of a close-up.

These are cut-down F1 rear shock mounts from what I understand.
Note the use of a stud top shock.
A simple answer to a small problem.
Ring type shocks are not always the way to go.

F100 mounts inserted in the crossmember and welded. Made triangular shackle brackets to mount the shock to the shackle. I would recommend triangular brackets on both sides of the shackle for better support.
