Yea, @bennyboy did you manage to find it? Going to try get 4 in total and just leave them on

You best me to it - no luck I'm afraid

FYI, they won't sit on the campers permanently, they're quite a loose slot

^ +1.

If I'm honest they feel a bit too brittle for my liking as well. At least the one that bennyboy made me PAY for does.

I think if you've not adjusted them in some time I would move them through the entire adjustment range with pliers/whatever first. If they're a bit stiff that is. I know one of mine was.

Araldite says they will

I beg to differ! They were never designed to stay on, they are just a simple plastic knob with a (not particularly tight) slot in them.

Oh and@Donald:

1. I owe newkid one, he sent me something for nothing

2. I don't have my koni shocks anymore so the adjusters are useless to me

3. I totally forgot that I sold one to you!

Sorry bud

So fill that little gap with a two part epoxy resin (Araldite) and it should be good, no?

I don't think so. Epoxy is actually quite brittle as adhesives go, it doesnt have a get deal of flex, as soon as you turned it, it would crack and fall out IMHO.
The tab on the top of the dampers is pretty small too.

TBH, I always intended to make a decent metal adjuster knob, but never got around to it.
