Avo shock bushes.

I have some avo shocks and the bushes are too small. I need to change them to take 1/2 bolts. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so where can i get the bushes.

Unusual, as 1/2" holes seeme to be pretty much universal fit...

Unless they are originally intended for a Westfield (7/16" IIRC)

As for making good - if you can get the original tubes out, you could possibly drill them out to the right size (or have someone run them out on a lathe). Or otherwise you could always try Avo!

Your right mate originally from a westy sei..

just contact AVO they will sell you some - I ended up using mini ones - they are a smidgen smaller than the shock length but the dia of hole is perfect. AVO said it wouldn't be a problem.

Mini bushes = 3/8" IIRC...
