Love the shock build but.
Cheer's Adam. I do have two pieces of that spacer tube left, but there both different lengths!! You will have to have them turned down on a lathe to make sure both edges are 100% flat and as its mega hard steel, we couldn't cut through with a hacksaw!Quote:

The Disc on the drivers side hub is causing a massive problem though! I thought maybe it wasn't seated properly as it only caught in one place in a full revolution, but had a look today and tightened it on and its still catching. Compared to the one on the passenger side that has about 4mm clearence. Dont know what to do about it because, if I were to space the disc out the calliper wouldn't fit right. I'm wondering if its a problem with the hub??
..... And thanks everyone else for the comments. It sure does feel good bolting new bits on but seriously annoying getting all these niggles and problems!!
Got some more done today. was going to bolt the pedal box in, but on closer inspection of the bulk head area there was not alot of paint on it, so got gave it a lashing with a rattle can. So didn't get the pedals in after all as I had to let that dry off! lol
Although I got the Boot pins on

And Steve wrapped my whole wiring loom in non adhesive loom tape :thumb: Cheers matey. Also scraped off some the reacted stone chip on the front pannel and re painted it. Still looks a mess to be honest, but a better mess! lol Will probably re do it again, but its not an important job at the mo
Are your bearings pressed in correctly?
Nice to see what youve got on with Ian.
Keep up the good work mate.
As far as I know, I got the hubs already built up so can only assume they are. But the fact the disc is to far in would suggest that the bearing would be pressed in too far, and then the circlip wouldn't have gone in?? Will have to have a closer look, but when I was looking at both hubs when I painted them there was no obvious differences
Edited - Thanks Chris!! Just saw your post as I posted this!!
Do Nova's use tapered bearings on the front or a roller typre bearing?, either way i cannot see this happening. Because on a roller type bearing you can only press it so far into the hub then you have a circlip, and there is know way of getting the circlip in without the bearing being pressed in to the hub all the way.Quote:

Few more bits done this weekend...
Saturday morning I dropped my bottom end off at Autosprint for balancing and flywheel lightening and balancing, that should hopefully be ready for next weekend :cool:
Todays work included laying the wiring loom roughly in place after having it all nicely wrapped in non adhesive loom tape.
Pedals primed, painted and in

Finally back to the problem I'm having with the brake discs hitting the hub carrier we had a look at them again. The Disc that seemed ok on the passenger side wasn't catching as the bearing has alot of play in it. The hub carrier looks as though its been machined out too big so the bearing fit is to loose.
What front wheel bearings do people run for the 2ltr hubs?? I'm going to have my other hub carriers machined for the bearing so I know its all sorted and see if this resolves the catching issue
