I fitted a set of Soupy's lowering links yesterday however I struck a problem. The pic may illustrate what I am talking about. Basically everything went as planned until I went to tighten the bolts, top and bottom. As you can see in the pic, there isn't much room surrounding the nut and I can't get a socket or spanner to grip the nut or bolt head. The raised edge on the eye surround prevents me from using a normal socket or spanner.
What do you suggest? I can try grinding a socket down but I may have to buy two cheapies and grind them both down OR should I build the height of the nut and bolt by putting washers under them. There isn't a lot of length in the bolt for this though. I'm just a little lost as to why the design of the eye actually doesn't allow for "normal" tools. I'd like to use a socket if possible so I can measure the torque applied.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
