RideTech Triple Issue
Got my new RideTech triples this week for my 69 Camaro. I am replacing the QA-1's that my Airbar 4-link came with. Instructions say to put the lower spring perch on from the bottom of the sleeve. This is a problem since the remote reservoir and line are in the way. Sooo...I loosened off the bottom Allen bolt holding the reservoir line to the sleeve and of course oil started to spray out. I tightened it back up right away, but of course the o-ring was pushed out by the pressure and it got pinched and cut. Not sure what course to take now since the shock has lost oil and the o-ring needs replacing. The lines have to come off to get the lower perch on anyhow I believe. I am just not sure why RideTech would not have put them on before attaching the remote reservoir and line. Any ideas?
