There is already a TA05 V2 (laydown shocks) modelled in the program. You just have to import it.

It's a little tricky to explain how I came up with the shock model as the geometry with the pushrod/crankarm gets a little complicated. The simplest way to do it is to measure the X1, Y1 coordinates of the push rod connection to the crankarm as it shows on the shock variables graphic. Then correct the pushrod angle to get the correct shock movement. I did this by measuring the shock movement at several different chassis vertical displacements.

If the model with the program doesn't suit your needs let me know and I'll write up a better procedure.
