The mod is underway!
All has gone well so far apart from undoing the damper rods... Someone in the past had used blue locktite :eek
Eventually got them out but had to make a tool using tube and studding to expand inside the rod to hold it still while using and impact wrench to undo the bolt
Anyway, one curious thing so far... In Kebabs pictures his damper rod measures around 200mm where as my 2003 damper rod only measures 181mm..
I have drilled 4 x 10mm holes in the rods and they are ready to fit back in.
Just checked with aj Sutton and the rods are different part numbers, they changed to the shorter rod in 2000 so that explains the difference in length..
