Avon Rear Shock Setting FYI + Progress

Just called into Tiger Racing to find out what base setting I should use on my rear Spax shocks.

Purely for basic IVA set-up, someone else might find it useful :-

''Wind shock up till 1.5" of thread showing and turn adjuster to 8 clicks''
''Gives approx 5'' of ground clearance''

On another note I had a great weekend in the garage at last.
Avoided the lawn mower and all those type of jobs by turning the radio up and laying right under the care whenever the missus came anywhere near = result.

Managed to complete all the rear end, even got oil in the diff ! That really felt like progress at last :-)
Will post pics later..

Just a few small jobs to complete, then the body can go on for the last time.
Already started a new list for the next stage....

8 clicks? You might want to do 'the bounce test' on that.

That level of bump/rebound on my Striker (which used Spax) would've s-h-a-k-e-n my teeth out on the road.
