Ah if you want to change it on the fly yes it's more difficult in the roadster with the trim.

Mostly for track you'd want the rebound anyway which is on the bottom.

As Mr PT says on the newer ones they changed the bound adjusters so you can get to it from the wheel arch if you feel you need to adjust bump too

MrPT, can you make a pic please?

I am in strong doubt between the two and this is one of the problems.

Rebound is on the top no...?

Yeah. If you picture the needle valve that lets fluid out of the inner tube as the piston moves downwards as being at the foot of the tube, and the needle valve that lets fluid flow through the piston as it moves upwards as being within the piston itself, you can see why rebound adjustment needs to be at the top and bump at the bottom.

Probably, brain not working

I can check the destructions if need be, I've got them kicking around somewhere
