V1 Rear strut questions

[barichuk]

I have a clearance issue with the strut. The top cap is in contact with one of the bolts on the mount and is throwing the spring off. Also if I use the DF supplied spacer there are not enough threads to catch the shock.

Your shaft is not all the way through and is probably catching on lip below the threads. You need the spacer in there.


Sorry, the best photo I have.

The spacer goes under the bracket?

yep.

It's amazing how everything fits together when it's done right. I saw a picture somewhere that had the spacer at the top with the bolt on top of that. Thanks much for the heads up.

Hmm... a response from Michael Scott (The Office) comes to mind.
