Hey Chris, I've done a lot of searching in my carrer for an "off the shelf bolt" like this one but just a little longer-shorter-fatter with no success. I've learned my lesson (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Gene, as Chris mentioned the plastic cover does not clear the double nuts. Jason S. |

I tore mine off to do the change the other night. I figured it is a good time to do it when I have the MC off and I am messing with the brake lines.
The boot for the Bi-pod joint (rearward joint) is tore and it is dry inside. The joint doesn’t seem to be worn too bad. I can feel / hear a little play, but not to much. I called a couple parts stores. The first one was a national chain that I usually don’t have too good of results with when I’m trying to find unusual parts. The 2nd store I called is the place that can usually get me almost anything, but they can’t get this one. They can get the rag joint and that is it. So what do you think, fill it with grease, wrap it with electrical tape and run it? I’m also trying to find the shaft from a junker that me and a buddy parted out a while ago, but it is probably gone. |

QUOTE (slowTA @ Jun 5 2007, 08:36 PM)  Electrical tape melts. Good point. I found used shafts on ebay for $25. If I can't find the one at my buddies place I'll probably just get one off ebay. This post has been edited by StanIROCZ: Jun 6 2007, 03:25 AM |

I'm starting to pay attention to rules instead of building aimlessly.
Is this mod SM legal? From the SCCA rule book it seems pretty explicit that the column cannot be modified. This is confusing, because I thought Jason ran SM in is old car? |

I think it was legal when I was running it, but the SM rules have changed a lot in the past 3 years. I wasn't that worried about it since I was no where near the times the BMW's were turning. There's also the no weenie protest that may apply.

gotcha, never really been to an SCCA autocross so don't how weenie protest applies. I have a couple other things that aren't legal that I was hoping would float. I'll guess I'll worry about that when I become a national level contender (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)
