torsion on a RT

[steve_rt]

just had a look at the torsion bar i have, was gonna have a crack at it on sat - however, it seems i have an enclosed-type rather than the open that is on the valver (and weights guide!).

anyone that has adjusted the torsion bar on this setup, how do you get the spline rotation to work if theres no arm to raise in the middle?

erm you dont raise anything in the middle. Stick the jack under the drum and jack it to the height you want and slide it in.

 

[steve_rt]

ah right so you remove the bar, jack the drum up to the height you want (e.g. 40mm higher for a drop of 40mm right?) and then put the bar back in?

 

[Chris_H]

aye pretty much, the bar only has to come out an inch or so just enough to clear the splines.

ah got you. nice one.
