Are you saying that by doing this I am increasing the risk that it will fail in some way? I had hoped that 'the damage is all done'.


The problem is that people ( and obviously including Wunderlich mechanics) forget that the pivoting bevel drives does actually pivot. If you disconnect the paralever and then cycle the bevel drive through its travel you will be amazed at how much the front of the hugger moves. Now obviously it does not move that much in use, and the position and range of the movement depends on things like the paralever arm length and the shock travel.

Sorry - a pause there for "Rockin' In The Free World" Neil Young coming at me courtesy of Pandora.com!!!!!!!!!

The solution is to take it off and send it to me with a short covering note to confirm where and by who it was fitted. I will send you another one!!

Sandbar, my good man.
The pillock who fitted my hugger did not realise that the OE plastic should have been removed since there was no fitting instructions when it arrived from Germany.
Unfortuneately, that p*** was me. So I have a beautifully carved hole where there should not be one.
I cant see any stress damage on the support arm but where should I be looking specifically?
Let me know.
Thanks.
Bern.

Much as some of the inmates in our former colony can be very clever, I think Jeremy Clarkson summed it up best when he reviewed some yank car on top gear. The thing bonged like buggery when he put the key in the ignition, which irritated him greatly and he observed that, being an american car, it was probably there to remind the yanks that they were in a car ! :lol:

Ah well it made me smile anyway.

It never fails to amaze me the sh!t storm that those guys can kickup about bygger all, still it is amusing to read usually.
