nitron shock problem

[carlos]

hi foccers I have just managed to fit my nitron shock to my 99 fzs but have found the bottom shock bolt just a bit to short with the thicker shock fittings on the nitron the mountings are about 2 mm thicker either side.
this means the nut cant fully get on the bolt.
any on else had this issue?? it will go on fully if I leave the washer off is this a good idea??

[carlos]

I thought about that but am concerned the bottom shock bolt takes a heavy load so should it be high tensile?
or stainless

So ask for a longer high tensile or stainless bolt


No engineering firms nearby?

Are you sure you didn't get the bolts mixed up by mistake?
My nitron fitted fine with the standard bolts!

to late its on with thinner washer and Loctite for good luck
didn't get them mixed up punkstig seems to be ok
