      helper spring at top end of shock as in the smaller top pic from intrax, jim.
      think it should be ok shimmy without smaller helper or spacer as seems to be plently of clearance from coil/red anodised height adjuster to the tyre wall. will see when i get it re-arranged.

      just a shame i cant get it sorted for the weekend as was looking forward to trying it all out

          that will give you a few mm

          also prob need smaller helper or small spacer as well

          though looking at that photos again shim you could be right, a 3mm spacer might just be best thing. :whistle:

                right, got it sorted today, seems that intrax put a plastic spring mount on the red anodised plaform which sets the ride height of the front shocker. same as you get on the rear shock. from looking at pics of others intrax its not needed, and this was what was fouling the tyres. got it removed today and given me about 5mm more clearance than before. so as lawsy and all said my TD 18" et30 go on the front with no spacers needed :smt026





                will get it washed and some photos tomorrow of the wheels on the car. nearly ready for a week of ring and spa aroud easter :thumbs:
