It's a headache that is for sure.
You will need the services of a machine shop to make up a new suspension top mount plus you will need new one off dog bones made or get some adjustable ones.
You will need to use the swingarm bearing sleeves from the slingshot arm plus the centre spacer that goes between the bearing sleeves.
The slingshot bearing sleeves will fit inside the srad bearing sleeves this allows the use of the slingshot swingarm pivot spindle as you cannot use the srad swingarm spindle, it is to wide and there is not enough metal on the slingshot or slabbie frame to open up the hole without major surgery.
I have not fitted mine yet as fucking about with it pissed me off and was taking too long but it will be fitted. There are others on here doing the same thing and I am just waiting for some info or a top mount and dog bones to become available at a cost of course dont expect anything for nothing.

I would think once it is proved to work ok then a how to will appear with plenty of pics.
I will post a how to with the joint knowledge of tony and some others so all wil be mentioned and thanked.
This conversion is proving to be a pain unless you are a god in the machine shop.
Keep e'm peeled
