You can download the mk1 manual from here:

Should have all the info you need.

many thx Gary, one side off and koni insert ready to go,

are people jerry rigging a peg spanner to tighten the final nut/seal on this conversion? 120 nm torque on the Koni instructions (and I can only find Shimano bike gear peg spanner locally) which isnt something i'd want to guess with my two masonary nails, a spacer and adjustable as substitute tool.

Apologies if covered elsewhere but I couldn't fiond reference to this issue.
(konis bought from larkspeed as part of a kit with springs)

Large adjustable pipe grips do the trick

1944 im doing the same conversion and had the same issue, in the end i just put the old tops on and didnt use the kono piece :P

take it you have either polybushed or that is the next job on the list?
