Fork link fitting ( with pictures )

[10 inch Terror]

It's probably been done before, but I thought I'd post a few pics of how I did mine, using a short ratchet strap. It may or may not work with LI or SX links, but it works a treat on GP ones.

Good pics and love the colour...

Cheers Timbo. I've painted them myself with rattle cans. I'm really pleased with the result. I'm also pretty pleased about not scratching them fitting the links.

I found that cutting down a two pint plastic milk carton and fitting it over the boot before using the fork spring compressor helps prevent paint getting scratched

Now you just need to work on trying not to spray everything in your workshop bright Green.

This will only work with the 'loose' ball rods though. If you are going to use the solid type rods, you'll need a fork spring compressor.
