Kind offer Sir,
I was willing to have a go meself like, but first of all I couldn't find a set engraved with LEFT and RIGHT, and then I couldn't find any Allen key removal instructions. It's just all one big dissapointment after the other

 

[Locksmith]

Oh no I bought some. In the pack is .................................. an allen key and one loose grub screw in the bottom of the jiffy bag.

How do I re attach it to the adjuster knob?

 

[Locksmith]

On a serious note, I bought some, tried to fit them, only thing is the nut they fit around is only half the depth of the new adjuster (see the pic above) so the grub screw is only half on the nut.
When I tightened it up without really holding the adjuster down, it just scored the top of the fork nut and fell off! (Left it looking well rank)

I retried while holding the adjuster tight down and it did grip. Only half the grub screw is gripping, the other half is in fresh air. I'm going to leave em on and see if they shake themselves off.

So overall I'm not impressed with these

Yeh I was thinking of complaining about em not going fully onto the nut. It does seem a poor fit.

 

[Kinjane]

Ideally there should be a circular recess on the underside of it to allow the whole thing to sit lower down on the shaft of the preload adjuster allowing the grub screw full engagement.

I think you will find that over time it will "rust" itself thinner and simply drop to the floor

And anyway what is it with these underseat "clipped" in tools, they all fit in the tool bag quite happily?
