In my simple mind I thought this would prevent the damper moving around inside whilst the suspension is working. Anyone wish to clarify this?
Edit: You refer to Racetech emulators fitting instructions. Are you saying the instructions are similar for debrix emulators?

Yeah, I know who YC is and that he does the damper rod mods for people, that isnt the issue here. We are talking about a spacer between the damper rod and emulator, something that isn't technically required even on pointy SVs.
In a fully assembled fork, the emulators are kept in position just fine by the pressure of the main fork spring. This is how the product is designed to work. Now that's not to say that a design cannot be improved upon, but in this case I just don't think it's necessary.
Debrix emulators are basically an exact copy of the original RaceTech emulators, but cheaper. You would find it difficult to tell them apart.
