Re: Cowl light assembly
Snyders says between outer stainless rim and lens if read correctly, not between lens and reflector. The gasket on the reflector would ride on the lens clips if the latter position ?

Re: "Modern" Shocks from Snyders

Angling them can help the spring rates (see attached) and lessen the firmness.
