Default Wow, junk on that perch part. In case they insist on giving you a plastic replacement,

just get generic Aluminum ones used by coil over conversion kits such as from summitracing or pitstopusa.

Example, use the U shape collar from one of these

<a href="http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BSN%2DB4BOA000018 7&N=700+4294925130+4294807119+115&autoview=sku">bi stein</a>
<a href="http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=HAL%2DCK8201&N=70 0+4294925130+4294852491+115&autoview=sku">qa1</a>

Note zip tie is to keep the collar centered in case one has short springs without tenders, which is not a problem in your case. No load is on the zip tie.

Default As I recall they had to send their parts back for confirmation, then wait an eternity for...

replacements...

I bought mine through KMD (in Jersey?) and they helped me when I needed a new rear shock.
