nipples and stuff

Postby Jin » Tue May 09, 2017 12:22 pm

hi all
what size fitting is it required to fit the rear grease nipples?

also, since the mk3 etc do away with rear hydragas so presumably the retaining straps , how do they overcome the tendancy for the frame to droop in use unsupported?
can the rear subframe bush be replaced with a bolted matalastic item?

cheers

My MK3 used the top damper bushes and the standard metro metal tab ground off the top surface of the subframe, and a hole for the bolt to pass through. I have a vague recollection Alistair posted a photo of the set-up at some point.

Hi Jin,
If you read this article in the club magazine, you will see how I did mine.
