They seem expensive, for that price I'd want tassels on them.=C2=A0 What I=

did do on my Sprite was replace all the nipples with ones made in=20
stainless steel and this was not cheap.

Today I drilled the roll bar hole for the B and C pairs of blocks and=20
then reamed all 3 sets.=C2=A0 I was disappointed with how the reaming went=
=20
until the 3rd set of blocks where I found turning the reamer anti-clock=20

=C2=A0
I have the A and B set of blocks on the car with anti-tramp (swap)=20
clamped between them and the bar is tight.=C2=A0 In fact it's tighter than =
I=20
would like which might be a slight mis-alignment between the blocks, the=20
paint on the bar, or lack of grease.=C2=A0 However, tight is ok because the=
=20
old blocks were loose.=C2=A0 I'll have a look at things mid-week and maybe=
=20
try combinations of A+C and B+C to see if it makes any difference.

The delay is because I need to drill a hole and tap a 1/4 UNF thread for=20
the grease nipple.=C2=A0 I know you guys call them Zerks but I think nipple=
=20
is a more interesting word to use.=C2=A0 The actual delay though is that I=

don't have a 1/4 UNF tap so have had to order one from eBay.
=C2=A0
The new Koni shock-absorbers (dampers) arrived today but without the=20
extra bushes specific to my Frontline installation so I have a delay on=20

I am thinking about the next project which is to make some new bottom=20
