Hi everyone,
Well, first of all sorry to those who are still waiting for their gearboxes. I have been unable to send any recently due to not being in the country.
Also, it has been brought to me that some gearboxes seem to have a slight manufacturing defect. Rest assured this has no effect on the gearboxe's reliability. The problem comes when mounting the rear shock tower.
If you look at the picture, the distance between the holes is supposed to be 23mm. And on the samples that I had, it was. But it seems that on some of the later gearboxes, this distance has gone up to roughly 23.75mm. I do not know why, and this is clearly out tolerance. But given how difficult it has been to have them made in the first place, I would rather work with them than get some more made.
So I have been thinking of a decent solution, and so for those who have/will have one of those gearboxes here it is:
It's very simple, as the picture shows, the idea is to enlarge the 4 holes on the shock tower, this will allow the screws to go in straight enough without putting a strain on the gearbox.
Additionally, for those who want I will have some shock towers made specifically for those gearboxes.
I apologize for the inconvenience, and I hope the solution I am offering is good enough for everyone.
Fabs
