Default Big Bore

Could not resist the temptation nicked the shocks of the Cougar and tried them on the cat last night at broxtow, so this morning offered them up to the Durago .

To fit them on the front you will have to pack out the bottom with a 3mm spacer 2mm just might touch the spring. the big problem is getting the top mounted . In the R version they have 4mm holes not the standard 3mm and used a custom post this post will need to be packed out by around 1 to 2mm this also leads to a problem with the plastic bush, don't believe that the bush will fit into the Schumacher Shock caps. but because of the larger holes on the shock tower we carn't use the normal M3 long bolt and the bushes from the Schumacher. will need some more investigation.

Same problem with the Rears but the rear drive shafts have a lot more clearance and would not need to be packed out.

Oh and i have fitted the shock boots to the Big bores sick of looking at the oil leaking from the Schmachers shocks (LoL) what you carn't see don't bother you. (and i did use Green Slime on the Orings) plating comming off the inside from the piston rubbing.

If i ever get the shocks fitted and tried out i'll let you Know.
