Looks a bit too fast for me.

Shock adjuster housings roughed out, everything seems to work okay, needed a little fine tuning for o-ring clearances:



Anyway, back on the lathe for a debur, tweak the clearances and make it slightly less clunky looking:



And the final article, I might shorten it slightly yet as I found some smaller fittings for the rear end:






Next stop, some new o-rings, reassemble and put them back on the car. Doesn't sit very well with only one set of rear dampers and springs on

Went OTT and made some for the front dampers too - they're still dry at the moment anyway as they're getting rebuilt shorter to go back with the old suspension to get it running - problem is now I need to re-shim/valve and tweak the adjust internals to work with the smaller shafts (otherwise they don't blow off early enough on the high speed compression, and don't generate enough pressure against the smaller shafts either).
Need to print some clamps to piggyback them onto the front dampers too....you'd think we'd have learnt about altering one thing turning into 3 other jobs by now....

I've been told that people who put close up photographs on the internet of their abnormally long, stiff shafts generally get quite lot of people looking at them.
So here it is, all 50-odd inches:



(Now, if we stopped messing around fixing competitors cars and got on with our own I might have more interesting posts to make...but Eddy's still finishing the clamps for the front dampers and I've got a couple of coil plugs to change, which are even more boring)

Thought I updated this but guess it didn't go through - it's not dead, it just took a while.
Paint ain't finished yet so just a teaser


edit: I did reply, for some reason it attached it to a post in Mid-Atlantic owners in a topic I have never even seen from 2017. This forum has some interesting bugs
