Here is a question for any of you who are really know your shocks--any professional installers out there?

First, this is the diagram of the rear adjustment unit for reference:

Now when you adjust these shocks from 1 to 10, the knob B (adjusting head) has a pin that stops when it hits the pin of D (end stop disc). Both parts B and D have set screws. Well, on my rear shocks, the set screws for part D, the end stop disc, were loose. So, when turning the knob by feel (sorry, but the triangular pointer on the shock is black on black--really hard to see) I just kept going . . .

So my question is this. Can any of you help me estimate the original location of "I", the adjusting screw, for either soft or hard so that I can adjust the stop again? Part "I" (adjusting screw) has a limited amount of travel. Just a guess--perhaps all the way in is "10" for stiff?

Tried calling Billstein, but something tells me the people I need to talk to are in Germany . . .
