Richard. Are you sure that the damper is not arriving at the end of stoke before the springs arrive at full compression. If the damper does not have enough stroke it may be putting load on the bracket at full bump.
That was a point raised by Peter Ballard of SSL Peter. Given his unfamiliarity with the AVO shocks I had fitted he was unsure they had internal cushioned compression stops and even supplied some additional ones when I ordered their RS kit sans shocks. The AVO's it turns out do have such stops but on consideration I ordered the Spax gas adjustables that SSL have customised for their kit and fitted the whole lot together some time ago. The AVO's were sold on.
