Neil,

Since you're in BC, where'd you get the parts? Looks like BD and Van-Cafe
have them, but anyone else? If they can be had locally, I might consider
diving in and doing mine while I'm doing the shocks. On the other hand, I
should probably wait until I can replace everything affecting alignment all
at once  I guess...
