Cheers Holty, Cheers Dave,

Still worried about the gap I have in between the top of the tyre and the bottom of the strut, looks like about 4mm , is that enough

Cheers Malc,

Did give the shocks a slight nudge with a large rubber mallet but 4mm just didn't seem like much of a gap, I'm sure it will be fine, and the big test is gonna be on Sunday!!!!

Cant wait for National Day !!!!!!
