Compression valve(nut) on the bottom of a marzocchi 45?

[wence]

The bike is an 07 Ec300 with zoke 45s .
I was just wondering if anyone had a spare compression adjuster valve.
This is the 21mm nut which houses the compression adjuster clicker.
I have managed to strip the nut and need a new one.
It is the right side fork leg.
Can anyone help me out????? please?

How bad? You can try a 13/16" six point spark plug socket, its a tight fit on a 21mm nut. Grind the lead in taper off the end for more contact area(a trick Les taught me). Use a pneumatic impact tool.

It is pretty rounded now Glenn.
I was using a rattle gun to undo it and it was obviously locked in good.I thought I had got it undone until I realised it was actually spinning and rounding the nut instead.
I was hoping I could buy one off of someone as I want to fix it before I move it on.

Anyone????

Can't help with the compression adjustment nut piece other than offer advice for the future.

Most sockets have a beveled "lead-in edge". To maximize the engagement of socket to soft aluminium nut grind the "lead-in face" off the correct size socket. You will then have full engagement of the socket to the available alumium nut surface which minimizes the chances of rounding the nut. This is a tip applicable to KYB, Zokes, WP and other forks also.

In the process of checking... Marzocchi USA is checking with Italy- and I'm checking with the last people they sold some to- although it was 18 months ago.
