G'day all, I'm about the swap the rear shocks of the Night Train from factory to Fournales units. Anyway wentto check if I had the correct size ringspanners and found that neither imperial or metric fitted snuggly to thenuts and bolts.
Initially I thought it would be 11/16" for the rear shock bolt and 3/4" for the front shock nut,nope sloppy fit. Tried their metric counterparts 17mm rear and 19mm front, nope sloppy fit ???
What's the go ??? I natrually thought they'd have to be imperial, but neither imperial or metric....
Surely they can't be cheap arsed Chinese shifting spanner sized nut and bolts.
