Hi, I've just bought some second hand Nitrons from another PHer and thought I'd fit them myself. Stupid question coming up - which way up do they go, I had thought the adjusters were at the bottom but the Nitron logo sticker and warning label would be up the wrong way. So which way up please.
Also anybody know the torque settings for the shock bolts?

thanks in advance
Paul

I'm no expert, but I think these can be mounted either way up.
The only issues I believe are if you fit them with the adjuster at the bottom for ease of access, then the piston is exposed to road debris.
When mounted at the top it is more difficult to get to adjuster.
Your choice Sir.

Hi, Had an email from Nitron and they say there is no need to run the shocks upside down in a TVR, so theres my answer.
Still need the torque settings if anyone can help

Not too sure what you mean by "torque settings" but mine are currently set to eight clicks from the top, ie. eight clicks clockwise...
