fs front bulk head set
Has anyone thats got a new front bulk head set noticed that the piece that goes over the gear box which the ball studs screw into now has an extra hole and it looks like the holes have been moved back a bit.I presume this is for extra clearance between the turnbuckle and the big bores

Funily enough Nick mentioned the same thing today. You couldn't use the middle camber link hole with the big bores on the old part so not supprised they have changed it.
I never get to see the revised parts as I never seem to break anything I don't have lots of (touch wood) |

Here u go a pic of the new bit..
New part is beefed up round all stud positions..
The new hole, because its not in line with the outdrive enables you to use a longer stud without the worry of it catching the diff outdrive.. |

I can't tell for sure on that piccy but it looks as though those two middle holes are offset from each other a little giving you 4 diff lenghts. Would that be right?

on the kyosho website they say the fs bulkheads are la262 and la263
http://kyosho.com/jpn/support/instru..._ZX_5_FS_t.pdf but as you can see from the pic of the la263 it only has the 3 stud holes, http://cgi.ebay.fr/Kyosho-LA263-Fron...ht_1807wt_1139 unless there is some other part number i cant find or kyosho have bought out a new batch of la263 with the 4 holes but havnt put them on their site yet ?? |

Thats correct for part numbers... Mattb on here told me about the change on LA263..Just the ticket when running the Big Bores..
I ordered one from JE Spares and it had the same parts (beefed up around all holes) plus the extra hole. |

Sorry to open an old thread, but I've starting running a Mk1 ZX-5 again after a few years and just wondered if FS parts LA262 and LA263 fit on the MK1.
The main part would be the bulk head as it looks stronger. I did fit uprated parts LA210B about 4 years back and so far things have been ok. Any help will be much appreciated |

There are several differences between the bulkhead sets on the FS and the earlier stick pack cars.
The diff is a little lower for a start and also, IIRC there is a slight angle to the input shaft to help with the very short front prop alignment .. it's slight, only a couple of degrees BUT for a straight shaft it will run the risk of binding up if it is there. I'm not 100% certain but I think that the LA210B is the same uprated material as the LA262/LA263 bulkheads. |
