Re: HELP - End caps for long torsion bar spring plates?

Thanks for your suggestion! I ordered the caps from McMaster-Carr as suggested. They only come in a pack of 25 so I will have spares and can help others if they work out.

HELP - End caps for long torsion bar spring plates?

I have new adjustable spring plates as part of the conversion to long torsion bars (stock 69). The outside splined ends are open. This can't be good; dirt and grit will get into the spring plate/torsion bar. Any ideas for adding some kind of caps to protect them?

Thanks,
Don

4 Wheel disc brake experience anyone?

I am thinking of converting my Manx to 4 wheel disc brakes from CIP1.  Will anyone share their experience with 4 wheel disc brakes on a 80" wheelbase buggy?  Is brake bias an issue?
Thanks,
Don
