Default D1 Damper relocation using D1 style damper

I got a brand new TF damper that I can not use with anyone's relocation kits..they all use D90 dampers....Is there anyone that makes one?

Not that I know of. Most people buy a new D90 damper when they relocate it.
Send it back and get a D90 damper?

You want the bracket located so that the damper doesn't fully extend and doesn't fully retract. Measure the stroke of the damper piston, how far the drag link moves from centered to full lock. That will give you the location.
At least that's how I did it on my D1's.
