Thanks Rod. It is nice to have some level headed third party input. You're right, it's not polite to criticize his choices, but my being polite with him ceased when I discovered his calling me out in this thread. It is his money and his kit and he can do as he pleases, but I don't have to like it or pretend that I like it.

See Roy, had you given me a chance to make things right, a set of NIB (non proline)wheelnuts or a partial refund or whatever would have made you happy would have been on its way to you right now. Instead you acted like a jackass, so you get nothing. Actually, less than nothing because there is one less person who'd ever consider helping you out with anything ever again.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

REM, I will show you a trick on the turnbuckles :) I need to get into the garage and take a couple photos for you.

Question, so you have the "shock cap" tool from AE?

Clamp the turnbuckle & push the ball cup into the AE tool (not through, just in):

Then assemble :)
