congrat's

Post by stylussprinter »

Kelvin had a good race in his 270bhp Phoenix yesterday , on the Sepang circuit and got 3rd on the podium 8) Apparently though , he had a little problem with the ARB :roll: The nearside poly clamp bolt (one of them ) pulled through the clamp :shock: At this stage , and not being able to look at it myself , I'm not certain why but have mentioned a few pointers to check.
With this in mind please check that ------- :?:
1)The washers under the socket heads have been put in.
2)Graphite grease has been put around the ' bar ' at the clamping points.
3)The socket heads haven't been tightened beyond the poly clamps meeting . Because they're poly -- they WILL deform and force the bolt past the clamping point.

I'll let all know what Kelvin has found once he's had time to dismantle it :roll:
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

Told me today that his lap times were quicker by 1.5 sec's :o but he'd adjusted other things apart from fitting the ARB so it couldn't all be attributed to the ' bar ' . Even so , every little helps :wink:

Maybe he'll comment here at some point on his last race :roll:
