GT6 M

Just a reminder for folk up Norf, that Bo,Ness revival is on this week end, 2-3rd sept good bigg car show there now too, plus all the cars int paddock https://youtu.be/aA_VzEYg4FI https://youtu.be/E0bGmITIHsE http://www.bonesshillclimb.org.uk/ M

And this darn E stuff is also causing havoc wid the enviroment some thing the greenies dont want ye to consider,!!!! M

Yip thats the prob wid a GT wid a heavey 2.5 up frunt just too much weight for standard dampers,or adjustables  standard an v stiff springs at speed OK just pottering about though 500 should be perfect on yours Pete butt, I tink 900,s would shek yer fillins oot, 😲 M

I got some extra stiffy springs, as 650,s i thowt are actually too soft and no only that, butt, the adjustable  shocker damping just wont cope wid 650s as good as they could. {manufacturers say the OE are ok for upto 600 max , hence they cannae cope } as on full adjust for the 650s, ther still  too much poppoising at speeds on bumy b roads fine on flat a roads. upto warp 1 Butt, ..floated too much for my lik,n at warp 1.3 on smoothe roads, as undulations  get bigger at high warp,!!! So, got some double adjustable shocks med up,  v v reasonable too, direct frae the manufacturers thee,s will be valved t,handle the stiffer shocks alot better than the standard adjustables Also, got the shock bodys an inch less, so as to give some suspensionee  free play, as original type, that every yan gets is really no good if yer frunts lowered as 1 inch free play,untill bump stops come into play just aint enough meb,e sumet for folk t,consider whenst getting new shocks if yer cars lowered All this cos super stikkee tyres are noo causing havok wid me original set up got the springs, but shoks are a week t,mek, so cant say wot it,ll be like till I get the shoks an springs fitted ohh the joys of tinkerate,n !! M

bung some thread sealer on em,, pipe sealer is ok never want,n em oot, bung on thread lock they are a slight taper, well mine wer, so should no go that far in like just up to the end oft plug Im suprised that ye got em oot !!! M

If, and its a bigg IF, ye done what I did whenst repairing the MC, then brakes could bind, wot I did, was mek an adjustable push rod for the MC idea was t,get as much ..free play oot the system as possible butt, just nipped it tooo farr, and the seal ont end of shaft inside the MC, blocked the fluid of frae returning this aint wot ye done also is it,!!! Note, its a well wuth wee mod, as the amount of play it can get rid of is Alottttt so pedal stays at top  most of the time, even under hard brakin M

Yip, 2,200 PPM ZDDP its good stuff too Penrite racing fully synth M

and that chart shows just how a multi grade  oil aint actually dooing as its supposed t,doo thats why I think its better t,go thicker in oor engines. as it dont tek much for a 20/50W oil t,revert back to its base 20W as thee,s figs show,its already below what it should be as new so wots it gonna be like whenst its older, M

M

forget the mineral oil its not 1970 anymore. Use fully synthetic. Says Ian,    yip its great stuff, BUTT, its gotta ev a good dose of ZDDP init most modern synths aint got it needed for yer cam an followers one I use es loadsa the stuff init,  and it odds PSI v v well indeed M

Oil, try,n use the Penrite stuff, 20'60, its quite decent stuff and dont go off like quite a few doo efta a while so keeps its pressure M

Ohhh ive got yan ina better spot than that !!! M

bottom pad is actually better for even wear rate as laaler inner area goes where,t slower mov,n disc is Butt, top pad es,a gas vent slot init M

Sam, if ye get an elektrikery type, then the senders are smaller and, the big hex nut, between OPRV an oil pressure switch, it,ll fit into there as its quite deep, an senders smallish an thinnish too M
