I need to lock my bias bar after setting it up. It looks like a fine thread - is it anything special?

may be 7/16 unf thats what mine was when i was trying to find out, found out with rear wheel nut of escort axle.

did you get your protection tape by the way?

That looks about right - I will have a dig around my local spares place tomorrow.

Come to think of it, what's the best way to lock it up? It doesn't look as though just tightening a nyloc against the alloy clevis would be a good idea - some kind of spacer first?

Maybe drill out the clevis and fit a steel crush type tube? Then you can tighten things up as tight as you need to. Should allow it to swivel easily too.

Rally Design look as though they have a shouldered nut which would be simpler



The clevis can still rotate because the locknut will just rotate with it.

I used a piece of copper pipe with the end chamfered to fit up against the clevis and then a nylock to lock it in place.

yep, make a shouldered nut, or actually the best bet is to do what I do and make a shouldered insert that is filed away on two sides so it slips inside the clevis and can't turn, drill this so it just slides over the threads, then tighten a 7/16" unf nut against it

My ST balance bar uses a grub screw in one of the trunnions.

Not much ST left on mine!!! (that's why its taken so long, everything got re-engineered!!!!! )
