Help! Nakatanenga door damper bewilderment
Please can someone tell me what the two flat rectangular metal pieces are for (about 2 x 1 inches and with 2 holes in them). Are they spacers? The holes are much bigger/longer than on the main damper assembly and barely line up. Do I need them?
Everything was going smoothly (all ready to drill the rivet holes) until I found there were no instructions Sad
I cant see them on the Nak. website photo Sad There is also a spare bolt...
I really want to get this fitted today (not raining).
Any help (but not the sarcastic kind) will be met with God-like worship Bow down
Cheers,

They are spacers to put behind the bracket that attaches to the wheel box,
They move it out to enable the doo to open further.

I put both of them in with no problems Thumbs Up Russell

Sort of but the cladding is reassembled now and the grab handle back on - I don't think the pics would be very interesting (just the end of the damper)...
I can say it was very easy (once I figured out exactly what to put where) and will happily give very detailed information to answer any questions Wink
I can also say that even with the spare wheel cover and light guards, the rear door now opens about 89 degrees and stays there, so I shouldn't decapitate the dog again (we live on a slope) Thumbs Up

Yes, thats a good pint, whos struts do Nak actually use?

I used an Arvin Meritor (Camloc) one on mine as theyre only a few quid and we had a pile laying about at work. But the advantage of these is that you can inflate/deflate them to set the pressure or regas them. The amount Nak charge for one of these I would expect them to have the same facility.

You can deflate them (although I find it just right) but the valve is so tiny (and I don't have the right pump/adapter) that you have to send them back to Nak. if you go too far.
Anyone had an "original" Nak. strut (finally know the right name) fail on them?
