Thanks Ron - I'll be sure to check things thoroughly once it's bolted
back together - just waiting on a few seals.  I'm not sure how it would
be possible to get the rod through only one hole in the fork without
some force - it doesn't look like there's a lot of clearance in the
holes, and I'm thinking the rod would want to bind pretty badly if the
fork was on an angle.  Mine bounces in and out with the touch of a
finger against the rear spring, just like it's supposed to so I'm pretty
sure it's good to go.
