I also haven't worked out the simplist of things - what in the world I can use to wedge in under the forks to nudget the forks up by factions of a MM. Any metal I have lying around is at least 1mm in thickness, I have been wodnering what type of metal I could find which is sufficiently thin but strong enough to push in under the fork.

I hope you don't mind I have attached your fig1 and fig2 for clarity and to hopefully make the explanation clearer.

Thanks,
Roger.
