Alan has supplied 20kg springs ( engraved 20 on spring coil bottoms ) but I am bottoming out when 2 people on board. I am using 10mm pre-load ...

Re: New build teething issues

Its a little box 20X30mm I mounted behind the dash. Connects to positive and negative with a controlled positive ( presumably at exactly 12v ) out to whatever needs it.

Re: New build teething issues

I don't see an instrument voltage regulator controlling the voltage to the speedo etc. I had to fit one to make my petrol gauge behave. Maybe your issue too?

Re: New build teething issues

The one way valve works by gravity with the weight of the ball dropping down on a seat. It needs to be vertical and ( I think) it sits inside the short steel pipe that stands vertically out of the engine. The rubber hose then fits over the whole thing so the jubilee clip is against the engine and so...
