I modified some Mini-T aluminum shocks to add bleeders like on the slider shocks. Here's a pic of the shock bodies:

I use these along with my cartridge/shock body o-ring seals to get the shocks built nicely with no leaks:

Here's a pic of one of them mounted on my slider:

and a pic of a shock body mounted in the milling machine to be drilled for the bleeder:

0-80 X 3/16, but 0-80 X 1/8 would work as well.

I sell them. One dozen for $3, you pay shipping both ways, usually with a SASE.

Send me a PM if interested.
