For those of you that have installed this, how much did you have to cut off of the stud before you could get it to work properly?

I just got done installing it with the turnbuckle tightened all the way, however I only saw 1.2 bar on straight WG pressure and it spools slightly slow and doesen't make any power even after you turn the boost up


Thanx!

well I turned the turnbuckle all the way down as far as it would go(still probably 3/4 of the thread section left showing), and it will only 1.2bar on direct pressure.

 

In all likelihood, the rod does need to be shortened, but we would much prefer to modify and/or replace them ourselves than to have anyone else do it.

I don't mean to imply that you're not able to handle the job by any means, but if it's wrong in any way, it's our responsibility to fix it and we have every intention of doing so for you!

 

I had the same issue.
Fix it by cutting 1/4" off the rod to get a additional 3 turns on the turnbuckle to hold 20psi (red spring). Works great now!

 

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it.



Mike I completely understand your situation and liability. However if I cut it and it for some reason messes up I'm not gonna blame you guys or say its your products fault. I understand some people would, but I respect your position and agree with you 100%. Thanx

 

With a dremel or cutoff wheel you can handle it yourself. I think a 1/4" is safe. They do not come short enough to use proper preload and the ones we have had need shimming. We have a few in stock and will preshim them for free for anyone that purchases one from us. Just ask.

 

When you say 'shimming' do you mean adding a shim/spacer inside the actuator where the spring sits?

Thanks for the insight.

 

You probably could add washers at the balloon end near the WG spring, but I actually meant the cutting of the arm shorter. Sorry for the poor choice of words.

This is much more simple than washers and takes 30 seconds with the proper tools.
