Plus the cost of a engineered solution would cost way more than the £170 BG charge for a new adjuster and thats not really the point of my service .. I have made a Titanium solution on adjusters but again the cost would be way more than most owners would be interested in paying..
It's not water ingress into the damper that's the problem here. As you point out that is sealed by the o ring. But grit and corrosion on the springs and detent balls that control the damper ( Clicks ) of adjustment that is the killer.
Ultimately if you are lucky enough to find and buy a unicorn car.. You are going to need a second one to drive anyway..
It's a bit like my record collection.. I have ones that I dare not ever take out of the sleeve never mind dream of playing.. So in those cases I have 2 copy's and all my...
There's a lot to be said for this advice... Some great cars out there that you could drive and enjoy rather than wrapping in cotton wool and never getting the point of why they are so good..
You weren't on the list but I'll send you some for being cheeky ... and cos you are doing the WW17 !!
@Mossyv6 , @Ashtons99 Can you also send one please ..
Can some of you guys/girls send me a stamped / addressed envelope please and i will send you some of these silicone adjuster covers to test ... First come first served ..
@daveh , @DaveS , @Kingpin , @Fiona , @Claude , @Brockster , @Gordon , @marrow , @hoolio , @Chris197F1 , @Mikejp , @BigDave...
The adjuster for my mind is the most vunrable part of the unit .. it seizes up if not cleaned and greased and this is why BG dont even try to rebuild them .. they just fit new if you want de pinning as the time involved is way to much to pass on the the customer..
But if you fit these boots...
@ On the back of the protective gaitor we also have a silicone cover to keep the grit out of the adjuster mechanism. All existing customers will be sent these to fit. And can be specced on rebuilds if required.
Credit for this goes to @NathanH tho who passed the info onto me /us
I was on Weds last week sat at a set of lights and the guy next to me was in an awesome looking blue Audi RS4 and he gave ME the thumbs up... Clearly I left him for dead ... For the first 5 meters.. .
