its such a pain in that ass to do it with one though. i guess its sort of worth taking a bit more time and saving 15 bucks. maybe.... |

That was some bit o'kit.

what about cutting a tie rod sized chunk out of the ring (oo errr) on a 9mm spanner? that might give a bit more contact on the flats? |

Best to unscrew the rods from the end piece, clean the threads up & copaslip 'em. Then adjusting the heights is a joy to do. |

i know that that is the correct way to do it.but i dont want to find that i need to replace the knife edges too. out of sight and all that. (im pretty low on cash right now, i need to stop/cut down on boozing) Neil, how much did that bit of 38mm? exhaust pipe you got for tha acad cost you? i need to get a bit about the same length as the torpedo silencer that i have removed, i cant actually hear myself thing in the car at the moment. but it does sound bad ass. |

Unfortunately I don't trust the postal service so am unwilling to post it to you to borrow.  Sorry mate. |

Sorry mate. thanks for the offer mate, for the petrol cost i might aswell buy one/deal with taking the tie rod ends off or using a 9mm spanner. (i dont blame you about the post at all!) |

The big hexagon with a 9mm slot? I think I have one. PM your address. If I do, maybe payment is the promise that you'll share it about with anyone that needs one? Sound fair? |
