I have been thinking a little about it. Perhaps you could use the bolt for the top suspension arm and one of the bolts for the top of the shock to mount something from? Saves drilling into the shock tower?

Dont worry, it will be bolt on, no drilling req

Looking at Merl's vid, that definitely didn't look to be ideal being bolted to the reservoir bracket and flexing like that, that's for sure

Yeah that was one of my criticisms of the PUK brake stopper as well as the threaded rod being the wrong way round. I deffo want something more robust for my 4th gen.

Wow, just watched that. That is a lot of movement

I will be making it from 2-4mm thick metal plate, cut and welded. I can get a much more rigid design than bending metal to shape.

Are you thinking threaded rod with a foot on it?

Yes. The only issue i will have is finding pre fabed feet. Other than that, it will be a thick washer welded on the end.
