Re: Wide wheels, camber, castor

Very interesting. Change one thing and 3 other follow. A bit of a snow ball effect. Thanks for the info. I love learning about chassis setup. Its fun to try something new and then give it a try and see how it works.

Re: Caster angles???

I just had a thought. Are the standard non-adjustable upper A-arms symmetrical? By that I mean can they be installed upside down? If they have a setback built into them and they were installed upside down then the set back would actually be set forward giving me the 0 deg caster. Just a thought. I w...

Re: Caster angles???

Well it handled nice and quick below 60mph. Over that it was a bit nervous. I am going to measure the caster again more accurately this weekend and see what the angles are. If I can get it up to 4deg I will be happy.

Thanks

Caster angles???

I recently started playing around with caster angles and was surprised that my caster was at 0 deg according to the level on my mobile phone. I was reading on another post about adjusting the caster with shims. I have a Type 3 with the standard non adjustable upper A-arms. The only shims I could see...

Re: Drive Train Backlash - Rear Mudguard

I like it. I might have to borrow that design and build one this winter. Nice work.

Re: Lift table or stand

I like the red little flat jack / lift. Three of those might just get it high enough to put it on a stand like the blue one you have. Time to get the welder out make a stand and find a set of flat jacks.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Re: Lift table or stand

It would be nice to have a hoist from the ceiling for many applications. I unfortunately don't have anything to hang them from. I built the car on some metal saw horses and that worked well except for getting it down. I would love to get it raised to that height again but have some easy, safe and qu...

Lift table or stand

I have been contemplating some sort of a hydraulic or pneumatic lift table to facilitate service. The other option would be a set of jack stands that are stable enough to safely get under the car to service the fuel filter and pump and just basic visual inspection. Ideally it would be something that...

Re: Guzzi Diag

Good to know you found the culprit. The Triking looks good. I had to do a double take as i thought it was mine. Very similar colors.

Re: Guzzi Diag

I downloaded a new map using Guzzi diag and it seems to be working well. I did notice it to run a little smoother but not that much difference.
