[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 121497, member: 597"] Don't bother machining the eyes, this would be very expensive, just get them honed at an engine reconditioning shop using their hone they use to resize connecting rods. That way the eyes are kept perfectly in line and the amount removed is a maximum of less than 8 thou on an as new link. Using four of (x 4) 32 x 20 x 7 mm sealed bearings you want not more than 7 tenths of a thou interference, any more and this will distort the bearings and crush them too much. Lightly grease all the parts on assembly to the stem, you will need one or two of the supplied shims on the inside between the large inner washer and the stem lower block to space everything correctly. Use a washer under the heads of the main bolts, this will help align the upper spring cases with the lower halves better........Use a steering damper of your own choice making sure you get full lock to lock travel.............Good luck with it all.
