It can be really time consuming to set wheel travel into wheel arch first by adjusting total shock length, then to set ride height by spring perch. But it does seem to be the right way. All those manufacturers who recommend any other methods have the marketing department positioned in front of the engineering department. That is always a disaster!

- the horn wire had sheared off at the base of the solder "gob".


had a similar issue with a mate's NA and went through the same thoughts.. In his case the solder blob had come off the metal ring, but stayed on the wire. what we used was 'conductive glue' to stick the solder blob back in place (after prying it apart from the black sticky goop)

That glue looks like it would be worth having a jar in the shed.
