Jesus, any idea the reason behind the premature bush failure?

I have no idea, it was fine when I put it together in june. Maybe it was dirty or something.

Although it did go from a little rumble to full on knocking in around 10-20 miles.
I've put it all back together fully lubricated, which is something, I think I might have neglected to do last time.

I tried to bach my LCB y-piece back into shape, but failed so have ordered a new one.

I tend to put a bit of assembly lube on the bush to ensure proper lubrication!
Sounds really quick still rumble to knock in 20 Miles....hope it works now!

Yeah, I thought it was weird how quick it was, probably less than 20 miles coming to think of it.


Waiting on a new lcb y-piece to put it all back together at the moment.

[HARBER07]

I hope he is

[mini_mad69]

I hope so. I plan on it, will get the 'before' time.


Well it all hinges on whether the car is working.

I will probably have the pallet strapped to my roofbars again lol.

Still waiting on y-piece.

Not a lot to report. I put the engine back in, but it still had a little bit of knocking, which I think is now down to too much idler gear end float. I will get my hands on a DTI gauge and check it.

I've been playing with a few things. Mainly weight loss still. I can't afford new lightweight bits. So just been taking more out.


Doing this sort of thing:





I know it's not straight.

Nice

You can also chop that vibration damper thing out and weld the 2 bits together if you fancy.
