HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!

i hope you are all having a good easter? im not, as i have a suspension problem, can you guys take a look at these photos and tell me whether or not i have put this together properly, im a little confused as the build manual is a little confusing and worded i little mind bogglingly







im not too sure whether the top wish bone is on the right way round, can someone clarify for me. i also need to know the torque of the nyclon nut that is on the inside of the cycle wing bracket, that bolts to the upper wishbone ball joint?

thanks all

Alex

i thought so, do the longer arms go towards the front?

Yes, the longer arms to the front!

do you mean like this? if this way is right, isnt the front long bar of the wish bone a little close to the springs?





Alex

p.s very quick wishbone change

That looks about right for the castor, which is wy they were wrong before. They should be ok like that, assuming dax's usual good build quality. Glad to see you're getting on with it. When are you hoping to sva?

i'd check with a dax owner though just too be sure.

Yup, seconded!

You'll have to take me out in it then! Give you a chance to show off all that expensive dax gear you've got! I'll return the favour once mine's built. One day in the distant mists of time......
