Video of installing Elka Stage 1 Plus shocks on an RTS???

[Flight Risk]

Does anyone know of a video here that shows how to install Elka Stage 1 Plus (front shocks) on an RTS-SE5? Len at Cowtown told me he doesn't have one but would talk me through it.

I am hoping someone knows of a video ............

Help appreciated. I'm a "visual" person........tell me how and all I hear is "yadda, yadda, yadda"

This video shows Lamont installing stage 5's, but it is basically the same for stage1's

Well, I am not sure if anyone filmed me installing shocks at Spyderfest, but I did enough of them to know its not that hard.

However, my offer to you still stands. I will be in Fort Worth at the end of July and if we can make arrangements to meet, I would gladly install the for you. I would just provide you the small list of tools I would need and we could get it taken care of.

Regards,

John@ Elka

Thanks John.....I may have to take you up on that if my buddy can't do it. Would hate to have those beauties and wait a month to get them installed. I knew you would say tools.........Lordy, where did I put them??? :dontknow:

Are the bolts that hold on the shocks supposed to be torqued to a certain point, or just as tight as you can get?

Good question..........when I get the shocks, I will call Len at Cowtown OR John with Elka. I'm thinking tight as you can get it but I will make sure first.

When the Elka people (John & helpers) were installing the front shocks at Cowtown during Spyderfest there wasn't a torque wrench in sight. They tightened the bolts snugly with just an ordinary socket wrench.
