| You
do have to drill yourself another hole to
mount the shock absorber in the correct
place on the wishbone. As I recall
I have repeated the pitch of the original
holes and extended it by just one pitch.
I have drilled it at 3mm diameter. You then
have to back spot-face the inner face so
that the ball joint on the end of the
shock absorber has something to sit on.
I have also put a spacer between the ball
joint and the wishbone. My spacers
are 2 to 3mm thick but this depends on
how deep you go with the spot face. If
you are careful you may get away with a
washer.
The
spot facing can be done by cutting some
teeth on the back of an M3 screw head as
shown in the picture below.
If you pass the screw through from inside
to out and then place the threaded part
in the jaws of a drill you should be able
to generate the necessary flat face by
rotating the drill and pulling the head
back against the wishbone. Obviously the
screw cannot be too long or you can't get
it in.
You
will have to cut/file some relief for the
head of the ball joint and its as well if
you do this before the spot facing
because it provides relief for the head
of the cutter.
