TheRealExile Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I lost an entire drill with bits the other week, it's in the garage somewhere 🙄 had to go and buy a wickes special to tide me over and a load of my flat blade screwdrivers have vanished too 🤔 I'm either going a bit senile or I'm being visited by the borrowers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I while ago I was asking if there was a spring in steering column UJ. I was sure I’d seen one but couldn’t find it anywhere. Put the steering back together with the “wrong” spring. fast forward…..just found this; I hope someone has those washers @1200banditas they’re required to adjust the castor angle! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I seem to have lots of upper and lower suspension parts in the box of bits, but sorry the top bolts and washers are missing. Only have what’s on front assemblys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonmonkey Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 You can buy new washers individually from Krause-Rennsporttechnik https://www.krause-rennsporttechnik.de/shop/en/Chassis/Front-Axle/Manta-Ascona-B/Caster-shim-for-upper-wishbone?source=2&refertype=1&referid=156 They do 3 different thickness of both the small and large washer so you can alter the caster angle on competition cars. They are not expensive(about€10 for the 4), it’s just €19 of postage and potential customs hassle(unless your after some other stuff). I’ve found them good to deal with and they do have some good stuff (eg I got a short 2.4 twin DCOE manifold off them) I bought new bolts with washers from TJ Motorsport, they were pretty expensive @£45 for the pair but there wasn’t a lot in it with the postage from Germany, and I did have to cut my original bolts down the side of the caster washers as the bolts were seized in the bush, so had to replace the lot. https://www.tjmotorsport.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=2000645-S I may have the old washers kicking around somewhere, but they may be a bit damaged by the hacksawing😊 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will dig through my box tomorrow and let you know if i find anything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 While i was waiting for the chicken to cook today i had a spare but of time so i thought i would rummage through my box of bits and found these! They look like the ones to me and i can do a better measure up of them if you think they are the right ones. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
