Hi Guys,
If you have Xenons, the front near side shock has a levelling sensor fitted on it like so:
I'm looking to potentially fitting Bilstein B6 Shocks which have a diameter of 51mm. I'll need to fit some sort of mounting, similar to the one pictured on the shock, to bolt onto the sensor.
The sensor doesn't take any load as it simply moves a potentiometer via a two-point hinged linkage. I was thinking of some sort of reasonably heavy duty clamp with a mounting point on it to fit the linkage bolt through. But after some googling, can't see anything that would suit and I don't really know what to search for.
I found this as a sort of example of what I'm thinking about:
But this is the wrong diameter and not quite right as I think the mounting points are too short (and it doesn't look isn't beefy enough).
Do any of you have any ideas or advice on what to do with this. Bear in mind I'd not be doing the work myself and so it needs to be fairly straight forward as I'd take it a garage, explain it to them and they'd fit it... :unsure:
Any thoughts, tips or hints greatly appreciated as always. Also, I know a couple of guys here have xenons and may want to lower also, so the outcome to this dilemma could prove very worth while. I'm sure it's possible, but it's just a matter of finding the right part.
Cheers guys
Steve
