[QUOTE="BenBB, post: 1874265, member: 20185"] My take; 1. It might, just the decal alone makes moving the perch difficult, had to use a 12-ton press to move to mid perch (partially because I forgot Mr. Setscrew, d'oh). 2. I haven't but it's a simple round external snap ring, no reason why SS wouldn't work if it's the same ID and cross-section. Would try! 3. Yes. 4. I used blue loctite, others have used teflon goo, not sure if either is the RIGHT one. 5. That would work (see #1), the spring compressor I used (cheap ebay version of sounds like the Brannick you used, not a regular press) is just a bottle jack and some lobster claws that engage the spring coils; if you can rig up something on a press that won't slip and rocket the spring into orbit, I say go for it. 6. Torque spec is 41ft-lb for the shock shaft nut, it should have like half an inch of threads visible (below the hex top of the shaft, use that hex with an 8 or 10mm whatever it is to tighten the nut) when it bottoms out the top hat against the shock shaft square shoulder.
