Wanted: end cup for bottom of ODS spring on 857

I need the washer/plate/end cup thingy that goes under the spring on the ODS of an 857 - I have the top bit for the top of the spring but not the bottom one which rests against the strut and the conical adapter.
Anybody got one out there?

Thanks! I should make it clear: it's NOT the cone-shaped thing that I need, but the flat washer-like bit that seats the spring.
Need it desperately now as bike unrideable without it!

Apparantly the end cups that come with an MCU equipped ODS are not strong enough to handle a coil spring (according to my Speedspring notes and also PRO~FLEX's comments in the day). So I guess you're talking about a specific "coil" end cup?
If you get stuck you could maybe get one from Callum at RDS?

That's the bit - however mine is an MCU specific one and have run it for a few months with no problems (although I did hear about warnings). Have already emailed Callum but await a reply...

Orange if you can tell me some measurements I can hook you up with one. Custom machined from 6061 aluminum. That is if you can not find what you need.

wow cool. Have you got an ODS rear shock with a spring or MCU? If so you can take measurements from that. Again it's NOT the conical bit I need but the flat plate with a raised lip around the outer diameter that sits between the spring and the strut. How much would you charge? (Incl. shipping to UK). Thanks, Ed.

Do you have a way to measure the inside diameter and outside diameter of your spring?

breaking news: Callum has come up with the goods at Rapiddescent. So thanks for offer, but won't be needing it after all. :-)
