academy hub carriers and front hubs

[mr emily]

Hello

Diffs better now! Onto my next problems??

Front hub carriers. The ones i haveare the old type not the hards ones?? break easily and do they flex! Are the new hard ones any better. Also the front hubs seem soft and the lower king pins pullout on big jumps and minor impacts. Think possibly due to the flex in the hub carrier and that they have little length of thread in the hub. Do others have this problem and is there a fix.

no problems with breakage on the hard parts yet, you've got to really thread the king pin bolts into them..... much harder material, much better

Unfortunately the distributor in the UK, doesn't have any of the hard parts. Will have to try and get them from elsewhere.

I'm trying Schumacher king pins now, MI2, as the thread diameter is greater and the thread is coarser. Should help I think.

What company imports/dist Academy in europe? I guess they dont order parts? wow

[mr emily]

Horizon import academy into the uk. some bits have been difficult to get from them. But, they have been very helpful with other parts. I have lots of the older plastic parts. Will just have to perservere with them till they run out and hope that the importer catchs up.

In Chile at the moment so don't care about cars to much.

Speak again some time.
