Improving drag link ends
#7
Hi folks,
I have a set up on the Type 65
I tapped the end caps to 1/4 bsf insert set bolt with nut on thread and use the nut to lock the bolt is position.
The bolt should push against the thick bevelled washer inside the end cap.
You have to carefully set up so that the spring still does its job, the bolt just limits the travel of the cup.
I aim for about 2mm slack in all conditions, which means 4 mm total lost motion on the drag link.
I have been using this set up for the last 15 to 20 years with no problems without brazing.
I does sharpen up the steering under hard cornering.
This mod is pointless on a normal road car.
