Tokico illumina Adjustment Indicator missing

Here is a question for those knowledgeable about the Tokico Illumina adjustable rear shocks.

The new Tokico Illumina rear shocks I put on my 2000 Infiniti I30t did not come with the red inidicator for adjustment setting. I called the new Tokico distributor, they said to they didn't have them, but to "call back in a month to see if we have anything new to say."

I could get the setting I want without the indicators, if I could figure out where the "5" setting is on the dial.

My Question: The adjustor is inside the top of the strut shaft, and has five positions. The strut shaft has a flattened spot on one side, and a flattened spot on the other side. The flattened area on one side is much more flattened than the other. The "5" on the missing indicator lines up with one of these two flat sides. ON WHICH SIDE does the 5 line up? If I know that, I can choose the correct setting.

Thank you! (And poop to the new Tokico distributor for not being any help.)

Yes the flat spot on the adjuster is where the number five should be. Make sure you only turn them clockwise.

In the grand scheme of life it's worth shipping to me. I look at it as a good karma thing for you. I did buy that resonator from you if that helps.

You can throw them away then. I don't need them they would just be nice to have and since you were going to throw yours away i figured I'd ask.

Nope wasn't throwing them away....I saved them cause people somehow lose or damage their own... I'd figure they would be worth $10-$20....
