Spring isolators - stupid question
This is one of my old spring isolators mounted on a new spring.
Stupid question :eek: - should the spring be at that angle? I think this is the top isolator but I'm not 100% sure. Part number is RKB100970. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ef4ac28d46.jpg https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ef4ac6c9d3.jpg Below is the other isolator (the bottom one?) - part number RKB101290. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ef4ac9e7f0.jpg https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001551 I don't remember what angle the springs were at an angle before I took them off :duh: but I suspect the answer to my own stupid question is probably yes. TIA. :} |
I think you will find that when in place and therefore under some compression, the angles will change anyway.

Make sure the bottom one leaves the drain holes clear on the arm.

Thanks Ken & Kev.

Here's the top of the upper arm with the isolator pushed into the locating socket and lined up with the drain holes. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...2ddc59798a.jpg Now, without changing anything, here's the arm turned over to show the bottom side. The two locking lugs on the isolator are at 10 past 6 - is this fully locked into position, or should the lugs be at 6 o'clock to be fully locked? (the drain holes won't line up if it's at 6 o'clock :shrug:). https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...2ddc54c797.jpg |
I have a feeling that if you revolve the spring 180 degrees it will sit differently.
I think the rubber is correctly positioned. macafee2 |

Hi Simon.
The ones I have in the shed also lean a little, if you press on them a pull to one side they straighten up. I note you have the Indian arms was it not those that Brian mentioned that the drain holes were in the wrong place ? https://i.imgur.com/sm0f4fRl.jpg1 https://i.imgur.com/hrmso4tl.jpg2 https://i.imgur.com/bEWaL1dl.jpg3 Old photo of the spring in it's cup https://i.imgur.com/ZAkyMNdl.jpg4 Changed because it snapped. https://i.imgur.com/pz0SB6Al.jpg5 |

I only did this a couple of days ago and still I'm not 100% certain, that's not sarcasm, by the way macafee2 |

Ok re the weird angle - I'll give that a try when I'm ready to put them on the car. At the moment I'm stuck on the fuel tank refit - post 13 here. I can't figure out what goes in those guides and clips, which I can't even see because the wood support blocks are slap bang in the way, plus it's raining :mad: :mad::mad:. I don't know about the Indian arm question - I never read the thread containing Brian's thoughts on it. The arms came from Mat in March 2017. I'll compare their drain positions with the old factory arms once I've sorted out the fuel tank problem (assuming I do that is). Quote:
