Rear anti-roll bar problem... Sept 30, 2005 2:39:42 GMT

Hello all,
I'm having a tough time with the rear anti-roll bar it is not fitting into the wishbone pickup. The hole in the pickup must be .25mm too small and the bar just won't fit. SMEG! Has anyone else had such a problem? If I had some small drill bits it wouldn't be a problem, but I don't have anything suitable at this time. Any other good suggestions of how to make it fit?

I had the same problem and asked Richard. Its a slight problem with the plating on the roll bar at the end. Run your fingers along it (or your nail) and your feel the burs on it.

The solution is to rub the end of the roll bar with some fine wet and dry sand paper. Failing that use a file.

This should have been mentioned on a piece of paper that came with your extra balls, haven't you got those yet?

Cheers,

G

Nope, not yet, but considering the 'fast' form of shipping (for the kit) took 1 week I'd expect the balls maybe early next week if they came by 'regular' mail.

After posting my previous message I did notice that the plating was odd and took a small file after it which seems to have fixed the problem.
