Hopefully I will upload a picture of the car on the ground next, but I have to clear the snow first.
I'm a little late with suggestions but I used the Swift Thrust Sheets on my Ohlins. They have worked well over the past 7 years.

I guess I need to update this thread.
First the QJ issue. The problem was that the fluid had remained in the short hose on one side and I just could not connect it to the long hose. I ended up loosening the connection to let some fluid out before connecting the hoses.
After getting the car off the jack, there was a noise on the passenger rear strut every time we hit a seem on the asphalt during the test drive.
Long story short, the car is at Dawe's and Peter has spoken to Tarett who is sending new rear camber plates which I suspect are what Ohlin has modified to fit the R&T struts. The should work better with centering the springs.
In the meantime, GT3 master cylinder and booster, and underdrive pully are installed, and motorsport AOS is pending.
The car should be ready for the first DE if the driver gets in.
