The only way I could see was to remove the damper from the middle of the rail, take out its guts (carefully cos there's a sping in there) and replace it this gives you a return, but its a tiny connection.

I then replacd the damper with a alluminium blank with a 90 degree pipe connection in it, but wasn't happy as it leaked.

So in the end I got a nice stainless steel open ended replacement from AT power, cost a lot, but I am know safe in the knowlege I will not have any leaks from a bogde done by me.

I modified mine with a return line. I will post a picture tonight.

Here it is. I bought the fittings from ebay (stainless) and brazed them:




Hope this helps!
