I've started to trial fit the bits together and, apart from the usual fettling, initial results are promising .
As hoped, dropping the seat down allows the spring / top plate / lotocone to fit without needing a spring compressor. This with NOS springs which are a good inch longer than teh old ones. Bravo!
Note no Aeon thing yet, so far that has bravely resisted at attempt to get it in place. Battle will resume shortly. I was planning to fit motorcycle type gaiters but this has been shown to be a Bad Idea. It will compress twixt alloy spacer and Aeon so putting the mockers on the whole plan. Shame, it looked neat. And sealed the end of the alloy tube ( after a fashion - in true Lotus style.)
The alloy tube spins easily (at the moment) and may even contribute to stiffening the (remarkable thin) damper tube. Maybe even aid cooling?
Bearings next. So talk about stiffening, I think a quick sample of single malt may be required.
