Just a quick question on spacers, when i had mine made up, they seemed to be just a couple of lumps of stock round bar cut to length, which is OK, but the inserts dont locate as well in the bottom of the tube as the originals, and can move about a mil or two each way. This is with no load on the shock insert. When the top locking ring is tightened up, there is no movement, but the shock could actually be sitting anywhere in that area.
I was thinking of getting some new spacers machined up which snugly fit around the bottom of the insert, so it is located much more positively.
I may be being fussy, but a mil or two movement to one side at the bottom of the tube, means the actual assembled strut/shock has a slight kink between the shock shaft and the strut body, which can effect your wheel alighnment, especially if it shifts under extreme loading.
to those who have 'em, what are your insert spacers like?
