after reading the past posts on the Race Tech fork valves and springs i recently purchased, I have a few questions.
1. Drilled holes in aluminum rod w 10mm between O.D. of 3 sets of staggered holes, not 10mm CL to CL. Is it a structural mistake to drill in aluminum and are holes now too high?
2. What to do about 4-piece wafers with holes assembly; i am questioning their order/ direction as i lost original layout, and parts diagrams are poor. Also, it has been mentioned on this subject that they should be removed. What replaces them if removed?
Thank you

Thank you. Unsure about removing 4-piece holed assembly on rod shaft next to piston. That leaves11mm of open space; what to fill it with? I have Race Tech kit# S3002(their pick for H2's)springs and emulators & adapter w expanding ring for a snugger fit, w/ aluminum rods. Rods modified w 6 holes total, top rollpin modified for flow.
