I bought Fox second hand so i don't know what type it is. The lower part, that has no valve ofcourse, was taken off (CNC) and was wired for the bolt. The new part(flying soucerlike) was also CNCed (in Inox!!!) to fit into the strut. I think the picture in the "Files" says more than words. Surely, without a CNC- pro like Erik it would have been hard to make. In the "Files" there is also a pic from the first attempt to make the Fox fit, but that system made the bike too high and steep, the ride is much better and relax with the (almost) original angles.

That's impressive!  How does it ride?  What did it cost you for the machining?  Could you post a pic of your complete bike?

Tanx. The pic 's are in the "Files"dep. The ride is smooth but maybe i'm going to try a lighter spring. As Erik did me a favour I don't know the cost but I think it can be done in 2 hours our less by a pro.
