More blue shocks?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I was after a blue shock the other day...

Cant remember why.

Andy, have you got the shock length (hole centres) and hole diameters to hand?

Nope

But with the aid of a confirming phone call to jay, we are pretty certain what the problem is....

I only had time for a quick look and couldn't check the bottom hole as the linkage was attached (sorry not time to remove it) - however I think they're the same as each other.

Looks like a very snug 10mm
