When I did mine, Tein wouldn't sell Z32 fork mounts so I took a pair of old Z32 shocks and cut them up, then cut the ball mount off my HEs and welded the fork on, but at a slight angle, after setting the ride height and preload. The only issue is I can't change the ride height now without a full turn of the lower mount, but it takes some of the binding away by having it sit tilted a little. Still, the bearing is a much better choice and had they been available a decade ago I would have done them.
