I can't find anything online about how to strip them down to fit a travel spacer.  Anyone know where i can find some info?  Am tempted to just have a go myself but fear i may end up bodging it :s

Nothing on the Fox website? There are a few video guides on servicing 36's on there so should be some for the rest. Or was it Mojo?

Could only find it in the 2005 pdf and on a related note, if you look at the 2010 tech guide you will see there are FIT and open bath RL's for this year

Cheers Breezer - i noticed that too.

Spacer installed sucessfully second time round  

Suspension oil question (and I'm expecting to be laughed at here)...  Does the oil wt refer to the density or make up of the oil?  So if i had 5 wt and 15 wt could i mix them to make 10 wt?

Not sure, I  bought the proper Fox stuff from Mojo and you may need new crush washers as well. Think its 5ml in the bottom of each leg then obviously more if you have opened the dampers etc up but I doubt you needed to?

Opened the air chamber but not the damper.  Need some more oil to put in the lowers as i lost a bit.  I make it 30ml in the bottom of each leg by this chart (2010 RL FIT damper)

Yes does look that way. I only had mine upside down to do the seals and therefore the oil doesnt come out and so Mojo say just put 5ml back in each leg (10ml in Talas side if you have them) which replaces what gets pulled up past the seals under compression
