Dampers
So picture this, i drive over to lee radiators, to ask him if he can have a quick look at my leaking tank and let me know if its fixable. he can’t be bothered to look and says we can repair any small leak.
so i got the tank off and brought it down, i’m not even in the door and he says he can’t do it! used to do loads for the military, the tank is rotten behind the (welded on) bash plate, Well fuck that for not coming out and having a look at it the first time i came over! W**KER.
Been off the road now a couple of week.
I ordered a new tank, four shocks and a track rod end.
After a week, they figured out that the tank won’t fit on a pallet and therefore can’t deliver it, should have cancelled the whole order their and then.
Front has 6 inchs of travel, all ok, apart from it only has 6 inchs.
Rear shocks have 8 inches of travel, but have a different closed length. fuckity fuck.
so despondent, pure shite, shocks bottom out before bumpstops, the rear shocks rub the leaves AND more importantly the valving is just non-existent, what’s the point of having dampers with the same rebound and bump rate?, gonna try and find some long MX shocks (5″ of stroke?) and put them on a bellcrank to up the travel
and just what is with the stem on the end of these shocks? it’s a stock land rover setup, but when do you stop winding on the nut? there is no stem/collar like on the stock
on yeah and the track rod end won’t come out! Fail day.
have a huge dr750 piston.
