That is metric millimeters, standard unit for technical designs in here :)

Should be standard worldwide instead of those dumb inches and feet... :lol:

Can you translate the text in the drawings to Englisch or Dutch?
My Finnisch is a bit rusty! :D

Maybe you can even post them as a CAD drawings?

I'm not too sure if I still have files, quick search did not find anything, but I made this one in hurry:

Image Click for better viewing experience.

Maybe that helps a bit?

If I would have bit more time, I could make even 3D model from it, but my current schedule is killing me :evil:

Post your findings here if you find any as I'm sure lot of people are interested from that info too :)

BTW, you can always cut your old shocks and find some metal workshop that would make new thread to tip of shaft. Or then you can move position of spring cup too, just very very good welding is required. Just two extra options if search does not prove succesful.
