I've attached a few pictures (sorry about the poor quality)
On the shock mounting I've used a small locknut, 3mm spacer and then the standard shock bushing to space it forward. Then on the wishbone I've filed back so that the screw finishes flush with the plastic, when using the middle hole on the 22 2.0 wishbone. I don't think there is space to file enough away to use the inside hole, while I could probably get the shock perfectly straight if I only wanted to use the outside as I'd cut away the complete front portion of the wishbone.
Tried it today at Stotfold towards the end of the meeting on dry astro. It felt as though I could carry more entry corner speed without it suddenly wanting to swap ends, although it would on occasions lift in the inside rear wheel on a hairpin. On power it felt more compliant holding a line on a sweeper. I also don't think it made any real difference to bump and jump handling.
I'd definitely consider giving it a go on astro or carpet when the grip is high.
Final shock set-up after a few practice runs at the end of day:
Front: 40wt, 3 x 1.4mm piston, 2mm internal spacer, blue spring, mounted middle on tower and outside on wishbone - note original 22 wishbone.
Rear: 32.5wt, 3 x 1.5mm piston, shock bottom unscrewed three threads, pink spring, middle on tower and middle on wishbone. Shocks mounted on front of tower and wishbone on mid motor.
