Thanks Sewin, I assume you mean this top bolt and spacer kit?



https://www.wolfperformance.co.uk/product/rear-damper-top-mounting-kit/

If so, I created my own custom spacers and sourced my own 7/16" high tensile bolts some time ago, but this doesn’t solve the fact that the damper eyelets need to be at 90 degrees to their current position so they can pivot with the axle as it swings backwards on the spring's swing shackles.



As we can see Monty is riding on his 30mm Bilstein bump stops.

However, the current thinking is, if I fit Roger's spring assisters and adjust them correctly I can delete my Bilstein bump stops and gain 30mm of free damper travel, well, probably more like 25mm to be on the safe side.



Saying that, even on the current arrangement and despite running on the Bilstein bump stops, I do have what I'd describe as sufficient travel.


The very squishy compound the Bilstein bump stops are made from certainly helps here, as does their cone shape which makes them very progressive.



I must stress Monty actually handles extremely well as is, but there's is still the very occasional typical modern Trad Morgan bottoming out condition I'd like to eliminate, and Roger's spring assisters seem like they may be worth a try?



I’m currently in discussions with Roger to see if his above kit will fit on Monty?
