    Glad you found the issue.
    Any pics of the bent post and reconditioning of the shocks.

    No, unfortunately I didn't grab photos. I will post some as soon as the shocks are re-mounted, hopefully next week. I just wet-sanded all the tins last night for their final coat of clear. Then it's on to re-assembly!!

    Interesting its a shame you didn't video the shock mount straightening process. Good job fixing it.
