    Would any of you kind souls be able to tell me the position of the bolt hole in the chassis bracket for GT6 rotoflex. Anyone got side or end elevation drawings? WSM only has top and a rear but it’s obscured. The Vitesse one gives a vertical dim from the top of the chassis.

    So, the rear suspension lowering blocks don’t come with a dowel to locate to the diff casing but the stud clearance holes are accurate and close clearance. Engineering-wise not correct but in reality, probably ok. However, I’m inclined to dowel the block to the diff to get everything as good as possible. Anyone else done this?

    Fag paper clearance. I reckon the already fitted 3/4” lowering block made the difference. Anyway, 1” block now fitted.

    I have the lifter.

    I should have been more specific. When the spring eye bolt is out and you lower the spring, does the spring eye hit the (solid) brake pipe to the wheel cylinder? There must be some loading of the spring even at full droop.

    Hello all, I’m after assistance again. Can I remove the rear spring of my rotoflex mk3 without disconnecting drive shafts from diff, brake hoses from chassis etc? I have a factory spec spring tool.

    No problem Colin. I’ve just finished modelling the early version. I’ll get a 3D print of each part for you to check the fit, should be early next week but I’ll advise when I’m sending.

    Who did your paint? I did my own and it’s awful. I’ll never paint a car again.

    Curses.

    Bearing packaging and picture off Misumi’s site.

    Pete, they are taper and the inner is supplied ungreased and separate as they install the outer race for you. Yes, might be ok at 8 ft/lbs or less. I was hoping that someone who had installed these would confirm.

    The bearings are roller and most certainly not sealed. As I said to Pete: “Pete, they are taper and the inner is supplied ungreased and separate as they install the outer race for you. Yes, might be ok at 8 ft/lbs or less. I was hoping that someone who had installed these would confirm.”

    Nope. 100% round.

    Thanks Nigel. Your paint! Glorious.

    But the original has a washer that can’t rotate. It’s the washer (a spacer in this kit) rotating against the nut scenario that’s the concern. If however, someone who has fitted the kit and preloaded the bearings and not seen the rotation issue can confirm, then I’m happy.

    Thank you Doug. I’ve done mine wrong but I’m not worried.

    Ok. There isn’t a spacer between the inner races, it’s a spacer between the nut and the inner race of the outer bearing.

    Does anyone have totally original gutters on their MK3 GT6? I’ve repaired mine as per the picture because I found more than one picture in a book which looked like this. I just wondered how an original car’s gutters terminate. When I got my car they were square ended and looked as if someone had just cut off a rotten section and filed them square.

    Colin, that’s exactly my concern. These are hubs and stubs from my usual source and not wishing to state the obvious (beware, he’s clearly about to state the obvious), I’m not the first person to fit these.
  21. Adrian Saunders
    No D hole in the washer, actually a spacer actin’s directly on the inner race Pete, the thread is a complete round too. No solid spacer either. I’m hoping that others have torqued to max 8 lbs/ft and had no issues.

    Hi guys. I’m fitting Al hubs, new larger stubs and bearings to my GT6. One side sets up ok but the other, the N/S, doesn’t. Usual quandary of split pin hole aligns and hub feels like it’s dragging/too tight or, other split pin hole aligns and the thick outer spacer turns with the hub! I’m not comfortable with the spacer turning as it’s doing so against the nut, and it just doesn’t seem right. I will check the torque on the nut when I can get hold of the right size socket as the instructions do state not to go beyond 8 lbs/ft. I’m not normally one for actually tightening a hub nut but, is that the thing to do with these hubs/bearings? Has anyone else had to tighten the hub nut more than you would normally?

    Hi Neil, what’s the relevance of the blue insert?
  24. Adrian Saunders
    Tony, we use them extensively at work. Our CEO swears by them and absolutely detests spring washers or a bolted joint without washers. The Schnorr washers are very effective. I’m in work tomorrow so I shall grab a few of each size to try out.

    Roger, it was so disappointing. All the old ones that I’ve removed from the car looked fine but as they’re so cheap one tends to replace anyway.
