Default Suspension insert fix

The front Ive left with the inserted suspension blocks.
Here is my fix for the blown out suspension inserts. I cut small very thin brass shim stock to fit in the suspension holders. I held the shim in place with a old wrecked suspension insert, then I used my soldering iron and built up the area as shown with silver solder. Its about 1.5 to 2mm thick but gives it a good backer to prevent the pin and ball from punching thew the plastic insert.
