[brer]

Hey,

So what size shim for the rocker stands when doing the 1.7 rocker 911 swivel foot change over?

anyone done this?

Thanks in advance.

I bolted one of the rockers on and found that when the assembly was tightened up there was no longer any room for adjustment.

The rockers have been decked already, so maybe I have lost some material elsewhere from a previous rebuild. Heads rebuilt and cut perhaps? any other ideas?

I think I'm going to put it back together with my old adjusters for the time being, and wait for another time to pull the motor and play with the geometry (something i need to research (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) ).

I have also discovered that my proportioning valve has been switched out for a T fitting. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Good for a brake upgrade in the front later on, bad for braking on long sweeping freeway interchanges. I've felt the rear end want to walk out on me under high speed braking, so i guess thats why.

My shifter bar and the hole that hold the bushing on the trans. are very worn and showing play. The shifter bar has lost alot of material and makes me think it needs to be replaced. The plastic bushing on the transmission was moving all over the place in its hole, probably +.25". The bottom of the hole was worn to match the bar. For better or worse, i put a dab of JB Weld under the bushing to try and keep it from moving as much.

The firewall bushing seemed to have the same amount of play as the new one so i didnt' switch it out, or the ones in the universal joint (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) .

More going on than i was aware of. But it makes me wonder about my current geometry and what benefits getting it set correctly might show.

Starting my MA on Tuesday, so maybe i'll get around to that next 4th of July weekend. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)


thanks again for the feedback, I'll post a picture of my undercarriage later. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
