Topic: Shock mounts

[The Gurg]

Got them mostly in, but they aren’t sitting flush and they don’t want to go in more. Really cranked down on them. Got the breaker bar out and really tightened down.

What do you guys think of how far the mounts are in, are they flush enough?

Everyone telling me to get a press is right. Spent $20 on hardware to make this work, $20 could have gone towards that press and it would have been simple and easy.

Put a straight edge across it , if it does not touch hole in the swingarm, then nothing will rub. That is why the center is longer. . Like they should be centered. , but main part shock mount clears the swingarm.

Mounts are in centered and flush. They do sit flush on both sides, obvious now that their in. Straight edge doesn’t make contact with the swingarm when held against the mount.

Thanks so much everyone, especially 754,  for your help and advice on this thread!
