ha ha ha Damn you Alan, i'm going to be looking at that all the time now!! ill have to get the micrometer out again
;D
;D
Thanks Danny, still a long way to go but making progress ;D
One bit of annoyance though is I had a damaged spring seat on one of the front shocks so the only way to remove it turned out to be destroying it with a angle grinder, I checked online that I could get a replacement from AVO Shocks and the spring seat was listed as a spare, however once I recieved the new springseat it turned out to have a fractionally smaller thread size (approx 0.4mm smaller) which made it bind up at the top of the thread and after talking to avo (and getting another thread type from them which also didnt fit) they told me that due to the age of my shocks (bought in 2008) they must of changed the thread or (and this was worrying) they said the CNC cutting the springseat and threads on the body could have had worn tooling which intoduced the odd thread!!!!!! - ha ha ha oh dear!
Anyway long story short im now searching for a second hand springseat and / or looking to get some made by a local engineering firm.
