You rotate the bag so the 'bolts' are centered in each half of the trailing arm. I drilled the mounting holes within a 1/4" of the center seam & drilled a hole for the air fitting/lines. My bolts also go through both the top & bottom of the trailing arm.

FWIW, some newer Firestones are set up for single bolt installations on top & bottom..... others could have a similar arrangement & I welded the seams of my trailing arms w/a 2" bead every 6" or so the length of the arms.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
