WHERE HAVE THESE GONE????
We had a production issue with the last batch which meant they are not a good fit. This is being corrected and a new batch is "on its way" - watch this space.
I cannot tell which batch anyone may have been sent. If you have found that the clearance between the bottom of the shock and the bracket results in the shock fouling the bracket then please contact me.
The first batch did not suffer from this issue, it was a production error in the second batch.

Don't suppose it comes with another long bolt does it as mine fell off and is some where around the fens some where.

Baz,
No sorry, they don't come with the mounting bolt.
However they are supposed to help stop the bolts unwinding, I don't think you already had them fitted dod you?

Jamie,
I still have your address.
Do not send your old ones back, they dont fit anything (unless Gary has made his set fit the front???) and you will need the bolts anyway.
Also I have now done all my experimenting on hubs now so no need for the spare hubs.
Thanks
Martin

Unfortunatly not done any experimenting on the front shock mounts yet, work (and greenlaning!)keeps getting in the way. I'm getting the shock mount welded back on the axle on tuesday and I'll get my mate to have a peek see what he thinks but its probably a christmas job now - i finish on the 18th so should have plenty of time to sort them out then. I'm probably going to bolt and then weld the rear brackets onto the front axle shock mount so that the lower front shock bolt is rotated through 90 degrees and doesnt either destroy the bush or rip the shock mount off the axle when articulating.
