Default Paragon Koni Strut Conversion -- Tech Article Link not Working

I'm currently in the middle of doing the Paragon Koni adjustable strut conversion on my 951, but when I went to get the tech article from the Paragon site, the link doesn't work! (just my luck)

Does anyone have this stored on their computer that they could email me, or does anyone know of another page in another site, that includes this information?

Just in case someone has it, my email address is: vainikka#bigpond.net.au

Obviously change the # to @

Cheers

Mark

Is their tech article section of the site still down? If anyone has this file saved, I'd like a copy as well.

Did the instruction sheet not come with the strut inserts?

Yes, it did. But the Paragon Tech article was more indepth and I would have liked to read through it before hacking into the struts...

Cut off the seal pc at the top, measure down and mark your spot to cut the tube - double check the measurement, cut the tube with a chop saw or band saw if you can find one if not, grinder with a cutting disc(proper rpm for safety) is the next best thing but do it in a vise. Wear safety glasses when you're doing this.
Mark the bottom of the tube in the center, center punch it, drill a small pilot hole, double check your center, drill the correct size hole for the threaded insert. File any burrs off the top, straighten the top if you need to and stick it together.

You make it sound so easy!!! Shouldn't be a problem. I just wanted to give the tech article a read before getting into it. I'll let you know how it goes. Doesn't sound too difficult...

I have been trying to view the parage article for weeks now and it hasn't worked yet. Here is another write up I found doing a google search.

Techno Duck was kind enough to post a scanned copy of the instructions a couple months back:
