[lloydie]

while on this subject in the triangle shaped linkage is the distance from to the captive bearings to the two holes for the other link and shock lower mount identical?ive noticed when 2up the spring on my nitron shock has just kissed the swing arm enough to leave paint on the alloy!

Well the lube obsessed guys missed this one....
The answer is no..... there is an arrow that is supposed to face forward when the bit is installed correctly.

Hello Andy

I actually used a number of suppliers

Lancashire Seals for the seals - £10 for 10
David Silver for the collars

I'll get the name of the bearing supplier later for you.

If you want a hand with this job let me know, you definitely need liars of heat if things are corroded.

Thanks Brian for the offer of help I may take you up on that, we're not too far away from each other

[BrianC]

No problem - remind me to get that bearing supplier

Brian

[BrianC]

You could bring it down here if you want Andy. - well equipped garage and bike lift plays that vital butane gun !!!!
