As title, i recently acquired a Fox air rear shock from a really helpful seller on here, and during the discussion process the seller asked if I minded if they kept the spacer bush things that you fit it to the bike with, I replied that i had a set on the shock currently fitted on the bike so that wouldn't be a problem...
Famous last words :facepalm:
Mine don't fit, the center bore on the shock is bigger than the spacer bushes i have so they rattle round in the holes, and the bit that slots inside the shock is longer so both sides meet in the middle and the shock is then free to rattle about in every direction, side to side as well as up/down forward/back!
Now im not going to pester the seller as they asked me fairly if they could keep them and I agreed to this so there is no issue there, CRC do alsorts of weird and wonderful spacers and such to allow fitment (albeit listed as manitou i think they are) but the measurements confuddle me greatly, could anyone advise what sizes i would need to fit said shock, to said bike as its been hung up on the rack out of use for a while due to the seals failing in the shock works shock i had fitted :cry:
Shock is a Fox Air, Vanilla Float RC, and the bike is a 1997 Rift Zone FRS, any info as to where i can source correct fitting bushes/spacers, or if anyone has some they want to donate or exchange for beer tokens I will be much appreciative!
Thank you in advance, John.
