Itching to swap in Debrix Em's but gonna try and get the Spacers machined locally. Can anyone give me the precise dimensions for the spacer?

Also, how much should I bore out Damper Rod?

This is for the Pointy install.

Thanks

Ronnie

To assist, if anyone else is looking:

Emu measurements - 27.0mm OD; 23.95mm ID; 7.5mm long (I presume 'OD' is Outer Diameter and 'ID' is Inner Diameter. Please correct me if I'm wrong);

Damper Rod measurments - 4x8mm holes @ bottom of damper rod; Drill out to 11mm (Allows Emu to provide damping); Deburr*; Block off 1.8mm diameter rebound hole (top of the damper).

* I didn't really know how to do this but this article explains it (http://holemaking.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/deburring-holes.html). A special tool is probably needed. Check out your local DIY store.

This is the sort of thing I use http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0002GV2CW/ref=asc_df_B0002GV2CW7605268?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=hydra0b-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0002GV2CW&hvpos=1o2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1016379223263145428&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=

but it can be done with a small rounded hand file, although a little awkward.

your only taking off the ragged edge if there is any so a bit of wet'n'dry or emery cloth will be just fine. you don't need to go to the expense of a de-burr tool for 1 use.
