Hi Harrie, pretty good damn work, mate! Congrats to this beauty! It's a pleasure to watch! At the moment I'm preparing my '89 NF5, which, overall, is in good condition. I recently shimmed and greased the linkage of the rear damper. I controlled or re-shimmed to only an absolute minimum of axial play. Except of the big one with the needle bearings in it, which I only could shim into the washers but not to the bearing housing. This has axial play of approx. 2mm, slipping over the needle barings between the washers. This has affect to the Damper itself, sliding this amount to its sides. Should the housing also be shimmed to not 'dangle' between its stops? Keep up the good work, mate. Greetings from Germany _Stefan
