Not really a fan of things fitting where they touch.a flap disc in a die grinder and use micrometer blue. it doesn't have to be that accurate![]()

The original adjuster(s) are just a pair of castellated rings. They won't be used and the preload adjuster will butt up against the shock body. One of the reasons I didn't want a loose fit for the adjuster was precisely to avoid fretting against the shock thread. I'll give the flap wheel a go, but am wary of taking too much material out of the wrong places. And until i can slide the adjuster over the shock threads I'm not sure how engineer's blue is going to help me.Flap wheel in a drill, scraper or piece of wet and dry around a half round file will open it out.
But if you are going to put the original adjuster underneath, then your altered preload adjuster, then the spring on that I think you will have issues with it wearing against the shock body threads.
Are you serious? A 54mm expanding reamer? The largest I can find is 2 inches and that costs the princely sum of £678/or an expanding reamer.
It doesn't need to move and I don't want it to.Too good fit and it wont move after a while with the dust and dirt jamming it.
