I held the piston in between my index finger and thumb... bored out the stock 1.7mm holes to 2.0mm with a regular drill, no fancy press. Scraped away shavings with a hobby knife, then used a sharpie to label 2.0 on each piston.

I've been meaning to try 2.1mm but had too many other setup changes to play with first. I kinda like using the same fluids front/rear with the 1.7/2.0 setup

I removed the shaft/piston from the shock. Cleaned and dried off everything. Then drilled the piston with it attached to the shaft. Went from 1.8 to 2.0mm in the rear. Cleaned off the left over shavings

So the tlr front ones are 40mm (with a hex on one end and nut on the other). The rear axle ones are also 40mm but require a nut on either end.

Haven't opened my box yet so I can't really measure but worse case could shim the 5mm or just fork out the $5

Bill,
Probably use a narrow, aluminum nut. May shave a few grams.

nice call, I've seen some aluminum nuts for 4mm threads, I'll have to look around for some 3mm aluminum nuts, plus it probably wouldn't hurt to dremel off the excessive threads beyond the nut too.

I think Ryan Lutz might be the only one wheeling it as a last minute thing. I saw a post about him going last minute on FB.

There are a couple of foreign drivers running it too. Not A main level drivers though.

Man guys I’m sorry I don’t know what’s going on but I bought 2.05-3mm bits on Nov / 09 / 2017 boy I feel like an idiot but here’s the proof I bought them don’t know why there magically gone all of a sudden but your 100% right they don’t exist anymore on that companies website

Welp probably another week of waiting for me before I get to wire this thing up. My ESC tray from Raceform went from Singapore to Germany instead of straight to the states so until that gets in I'm just going to admire all of the carbon fiber and possibly paint my body this weekend if weather permits

PS: I did a weight comparison of just the stock towers and the Tekno CF towers.

Stock towers: 30 grams total
Tekno CF towers: 20 grams total

I'm going to take off the Diggity CF camber plates tonight as well and see what those weigh in at compared to the aluminum bits.

They're probably like many other small places and just sell what they get, and then don't have it on the site anymore, so stock/items will vary each time you visit the site.

Mine left Singapore the same day (9th) and the tracking just updated this morning. Try checking again and see if you get an update now. I assume ours are going on the same shipment.
