[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 81677, member: 456"] First my apologies to all those who are still waiting. Having had two sets of engineers try, and fail, to machine out the eyes at the rear of the lower damper I have now found a local company who has a line borer. In fact, not one but two companies. Both companies cannot start the work for three weeks but yesterday I was with one company who has done work for me before; machining a 2.5 foot diameter gear for a telescopes. They showed me exactly how they could set it up to ensure that both the new holes would be in line and the correct distance from the front bearing holes. I have seven of these lower links waiting to be machined and, except for one new one, none of them has the eyes parallel and in line with each other. I have been loathe to place these into the postal system as at £400 each that was a lot of money to risk with people who do not provide adequate insurance for the parts they transport. This is what has been causing the problems. I have already started to send out kits for those who will use Oilite bushes and therefore need the AVO dampers with the standard settings. I expect the new AVO dampers, with the stiffer settings to be used with ball races in the lower link, to be delivered later this week and once I have them I can start and send out the kits to those who will be machining their own lower links. I thank you all for your patience. [/QUOTE]
