Hi All

Just an update and a bit of a warning.

Soon after I posted this thread I fitted star washers on all the coupling bolts.  Since then I've had bolts loosen on three occasions. The latest incident was after the run this weekend.  A rumble developed particularly on power but disappeared on overrun. On inspection, one bolt had come off completely and another was loose.

Clearly star washers, (or the ones I'm using) don't work.

I've now replaced all the star washers with normal split washers.

Cheers

Howard
