I decided since there is a 3mm thick bulkhead next to the the shocker mount why not utilise it strength.
I turned two tubes on the lathe with a 3/8 inch inside diameter to match the shock bushes + bolt, then fabricated the front bracket to whitch one of the tubes was welded. The whole lot was bolted up with the single 3/8 x 5 1/2 bolt and then welded to the chassis. There are also gussets welded underneath the two tubes.
Hope this helps anyone thinking about moving over to the front coil-over set up.
P.S. leave a couple of mm clearance between the shocks and throw in a washer, your next set of shocks may be larger !!!
