how much did they cost?
Ditto. Might get them to make me one and take the shock back out to get it fitted...
It don't matter if i'm fixin' it or ridin' it.

I'm having some spacers made up from aluminium they will be 4mm thick and I was wondering if that exra 8mm of preload will be too much or if 4mm is strong enaugh? Also, When I took the plastic shield off the shock the dust seal was in the middle of the shaft and was a bit rusty, how can I fix this?
