    Check your Wheel Bolts if you have 20mm Spacers.

    Wheel bolts. I found out what and why I had the issue. I have now worked out why I had the issue. The bolts I ordered had threads 20mm longer. But the problem was the taper on these bolts was in the form of a washer that was loose from the bolt. The taper washer was 10mm long. When fitted to...

    Check your Wheel Bolts if you have 20mm Spacers.

    Wheel nuts & spacers I'm sticking with the spacers I just wanted to warn others of the thread issue. I torque them to about 110nm. The reason the locking bolt held is when I got them they were far to long. I cut them but left them longer than the other 4 bolts by about 4-5 mm. I was in a...

    Check your Wheel Bolts if you have 20mm Spacers.

    Hi Chaps. I thought this might help save someone else the hassle and danger I have just gone through. I fitted some H&R 20mm spacers and read on the Interweb what bolts to fit. Basically 20mm longer. Makes sence after all. I have done quite a few miles on them and now three track days...

    Hi Ben cheers for your reply. This is kind of what I was wondering. I think the way to tackle it is see if I can get the shock out without spending to much time on it. Monitor the swearing levels!! Cheers.

    So 15 mins Or Hours? Front spring change!!

    My spanner skills are ok. The reason I asked the question was I read a thread with two guys talking about the front spring change.. One seemed to think it was simple. The other took hours.. Both seemed quite competent. Reading the thread lead to me ask the question is the shocks on a F1 197...
