Clive Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I have a broken adjustment collar on one of my rear shocks. Need to compress the spring a way.............I have some car spring compression tools, but too big to fit on the scoots small springs. Tried making a adaptor, but they where not up to the job. Looked on YouTube, and there was a guy compressing the spring with a small rachet strap. Bought one today........give it a go tomorrow, If it stops raining. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your doing it that way you have very limited built in safety backup so keep your swede well out of the way just incase it goes twang, you don't want to get twatted in the chin by it, that could ruin your day 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I wish Clive any ill harm.......it's just that shit like this could go viral and really get us on the map. I'm sure Clive wouldn't mind taking one for the team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Two straps, it's just the easy failsafe. Screw it, one thin strap and two cameras, that makes way more sense! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
