Struggling to find the shock mounting size for an Orange Alpine 160 (2016 version)

Im putting a FOX DPX2 on.

Messaged TFT and JTECH and both said to try and refer to the technical document but I can’t find one online.

Does anyone know the sizes or a link to the kits - I need mounting kits for the top and the bottom?

8x22?

It looks like they had a 2014 model and then some tweaks in 2017. Don't know if the shock size changed.

Have you asked Orange?

Depending on how thick the paint is, it will either require an 8 x 21.84mm (ebay item 283973111643) or an 8 x 22.2mm (ebay item 283973111111).
Fox do not make an exact 22mm width. You can take a measurement between the mounts when your frame arrives. The DPX2 shock is quite prone to the damper oil becoming aerated and making awful squishy sounds leading to very poor damping. Will be well worth checking yours when you get it.
