Here's a couple pics of the damper rod tool I made out of stuff hanging around.
Materials: brass reducer bushing, I think it's 1" to 1/2"
24" X 1/2" rigid copper nipple
elbow, tee, something to hold on to on the other end
These sizes are optional, there are several bushings and pipe sizes that will work, whatever you have laying around.
I had to cut the reducer bushing down some to get a good thread grab.
Useing brass & copper will eliminate scratch damage. You could also use galvanized or black iron but you have to rig up a cushion to protect the insides of the fork tubes.
If anybody is interested in the exact bushing I used, PM me and I'll go the plumbing shop and find out. (soon as it stops raining)
Very simple, very effective, very cheap. :clapping:
