I converted my last J rear suspension like this:

I made a spacer for the lower mount to take up the width difference between a Vespa smallie and the J, other than that a bolt on conversion.
Rear J dampers are quite pricey, and this Smallie shock was only a fiver 8-)
It looks close to the engine case, but when it was sat upon there was loads of clearance.

Much better than the fecked shock that was on there.
