Shorten the steering arm down and re thread it...

I was just thinking this too Benn..

Or this.

Its either cut something down or funk around with the cast iron hub. I know what Id rather do

[scott.parker]

The best idea for more adjustment is cut and tap more thread onto the control arm imo.

[Iain]

Not really possible either as there's a flat tab not far after the thread for adjusting the track.

I think they're getting sent back, I can mod something myself for cheaper, only went for these as they supposedly go straight on.

The flat bit is an easy fix mate. Use a grinder and make a flat spanner section elsewhere/further down on the steering arm.

Still doesnt fix the problem of them "going straight on" admittadly but its doable.

[Benn]

I was about to say, making a flat in the arm isn't hard. Just counter sink the hub's hole and make sure you bolt it up tight..

[Iain]

Making a new flat is easy yeah, but as I mentioned on the previous page the M12x1.5 threaded section is just in the hex bit at the end (about 12mm long) so when you thread over the newly threaded existing flat bit there'll barely be any thread holding the sleeve on to the arm.

[Edd]

Have you phoned them to ask whats up with them?

Look like a waste of money atm

[Iain]

Just received a reply from a technical guy at Compbrake, said he'd be happy to send me some shorter rosejoints which should sort the issue. Although think I'm going to return them.

[Benn]

Could you not weld the threaded bit in to the sleeve after cutting it down? The it will be much stronger..
