i just had some of these machined out of aluminum bar stock yesterday. i copied the ones that i got from the ohlins guys after i bought the shocks. my pentons have two different sizes. the top bolts are ten mm and the bottom eights. you have to get the O.D. turned down to the right dimension on the bar stock. i had a piece a few inches long machined down and then had the bar drilled and cut to length. chi jer
