had another look at mine today
took the spring off and slid the hub up the chrome shaft till the wheel (15 inch) rubbed
on mine that takes about 4 1/4 inches of travel
the bump stops the video tells you to fit are never gonna stop any thing cos they aint long enough
i amthinkin of fitting something on the shaft to allow the bumpstop to do its job
was considering either a piece os tell tube about 1 1/2 diameter with a washer welded in each end to centralise it and give the bump stop something to hit
cut to length so that the bumpstop starts working at maybe 3 1/2 inches of travel
any comments?
-
no tension on them but for a supersonic job they realy want taking out and the end or the shaft drilling and tapping to something a bit bigger
they are a barstweard size too at the moment so think you will struggle to find anything else to fit
-
seem to remember that these tend to crack
anyone got any photo's of where the extra bracing goes?
-
1/2 inch more would certainly be better fnar fnar
i have most of the ford bumpstop in mine, was thinking of putting somthing solidish in top maybe a bit of plastic gas pipe or something so it actually does something. at the moment the car would be ploughin the road before that did anything
-
what size wheels have you got now?
i fitted 15 inch to mine because i could see the problem occuring
mind you mine aint on the road yet
was wondering about fitting a bigger bump stop to mine... something to stop the springs compressing any further before the hubs hit the wheels
think mark kingston has experience with this and has fitted extra's ?
-

will see if it turns up in the next few days but dunno where else to look now :boohoo:

could maybe be a relay on you main beam blowing the led with the back emf when it de-energises
or as you say its a crap design/faulty
does the blue led look over bright to you compared to the other led's?
