Random engine thoughts and stuff

[Alan Pritchard]

I guess your talking about the small clunk as the wishbone moves slightly
forwards/backwards? Well I made my own set... and didn't really think about
it, the wishbone could move a good few millimetres.... So next day I made
the shims... depending on thickness I guess, if they need to be too thin
then they are going to get destroyed...maybe use something like
polypropylene which has a bit more give, or even metal washers. Should be ok
with lots of grease!!!!! It was the constant squeek of the delrin that did
me in!!! my pu ones I have on my 90q just creak!!! Which is probably
worse!!!

I had that same thought this morning.  Did it hold up?
 It seems like those small washers would take a hefty
beating which might cause them to shatter.  If they
worked well, I may try that this summer.
