locogato11283 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Could you get away with using a nylock jamb nut? They are probably a quarter inch shorter than the standard nut. Yea, I could.. But nowhere local has them. I even called Fastenal and they can't get the size I need. It's an M16x1.0 pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 McMaster-Carr doesn't even show that size available. Odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Yea, I knew it was a fucked up size when Fastenal didn't even show it in their catalog. I'll just have the locknut milled down. No big deal.

Looked for ever for them nuts before reqlized had tons laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much clearance do you have with your Stage 5 Elkas fully compressed? How would that mess up the camber? Camber is already set. I just need a thinner nut. I had about 1/2"-3/4" of clearance with the Elkas. The rezzie on them is 1" shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Here is some pics i took just now. Measured a bunch and they look a bit shorter but they're 6" or a cunt hair shorter. I have the same size nylock nuts. Still bit of thread sticking out too. Couple from back I took out ALL the air in the main chambers and evol chambers here, fully bottomed out. It would never compress this much while riding, i dont care how big the jump is. (With air obviously) Here is completely extended with 152 psi in the evol chambers and 48 in the main chambers. Love this setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm gonna let the air out of mine and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yeah, give it a go. When filling, air up the EVOL First, there is a small floating piston inside and if you don't, this piston will be in the wrong position. If you are unsure, simply let the air out of main chamber, fill up EVOL and depressurize the main chamber again, this will insure the floating piston is in the correct position, you can even feel it move to the bottom position when you do it if you know what to feel for. NOW set EVOL pressure, then MAIN. Just sayin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well, these fuckers are longer than 6". I'm pretty positive that when I measured the other ones they were 6" and my Elkas were 5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
