Thanks for that. This confirms exactly what I feared. They save on the carbon fibre as they weren't providing the cut-out.
On another matter. Did you have issues using the Specialized rear shock hardware? I note you said it was a tight fit, but I actually have 2 issues.
1. The front bolt is too long. No biggie as I'll just use the one supplied by AWST.
2. The flip chip doesn't fit into the eyelet of the shock. I've removed the bushing from the X-Fusion O2 Pro but the flip chip is too big. Am I rignt in gussing it was designed for a larger diameter bushing?
I'll get around this by using a cut back spare bushing I have and the stock bolt, but, just wondering how to resolve this problem. I'm guessing the only way is to get a rear shock with larger bushing size?
Cheers

Yes, front bolt is longer (~5mm) I ended cutting it down to size; for the rear I saw no issues with the flip chip, I got it mounted into a Fox shock (I don't think eyelet diameters are different), it goes without any shock mounting hardware nor bushing.
