My Micra Dot Rising To The Top! :)

I've just fitted a pulsar short shifter myself. Where the stick joins with the connecting rod, you reuse the micras metal sleeve, and put a washer from the pulsar short shifter each side before threading the bolt back through, so there's no movement there other than what they should be. But the main place they rattle is where the ball is held on the stick. Theres a circlip ontop of the ball holding it in place but its slightly loose. I took the circlip off to remove the ball joint and slid a rubber o ring down to the bottom where the metal ball sits, there's a recess which seems to be made for one too, doing that made it a snug fit when put together. And no rattles!:grinning:

my kit came with 4 washers, and I only used two
These were closer to 5mm each iirc and still had some play before tightening up. I might be able to send you the others, but you should be able to get a couple from halfords easily. And I found my rubber o-ring off the garage floor

Well your 1 guess beat my 3/4 Will, the washers I've used are about 1.5mm thick, I thought they were thicker:wasntme:
Throw is pretty quick, tad shorter than yours maybe, but close I think. I managed to get a clip before my battery died got 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 1st. Wish I could have done it again wthout snagging 5th at the end, oh well, needs a little learing:blush:video link

Well i used rubber innertube with a hole for a like bush in the bottom works nicely!
And i found an o ring to put under the 1st circlip as u go down the lever but still rattles a bit :-( so maybe another? Im gnna remove the whole thing again and check it over anddd use more o ring in there

I put mine at the bottom, and iirc as the weekend was a long time ago, I put 1 layer of electrical tape around the shaft between the ball, just try to reduse the amount of metal on metal contact and make it all snug.

ah so the top one was wrong so remove the entire thing again and remove the top circlip and lower it through and then place a ring around the bottom circlip and fit it back though... i see
5 layers of the stuff smothered in grease makes it smooth but softens it up but its good if i see u one time u can try it
only movemont is from the actual joint and the movement in the gear linkage

when i said not 100% sure i ment on keeping them haha
heres a little picture story
maybe go back to the white wheels one day? or stick with the 13"s?
Very nice wheels mate if you are after a kit to keep them shiny or get them more shiny give me a shout I've just polished my e30 lips and they look lovely the kit I bought came to around £11 posted! Check my thread you'll see what I mean
humm karl very funny! well i cleaned it yesterday and it rained today so its gnna be all dirty again
however yesterday i also had it all booked in for the exhaust to be done but im going to go back as i dont think it was even done at all it still blows
i dont get how it'll rise to the top without you having a grinder and pot of gun gum:grinning:
see now what my friends gone and done!
Maybe it hadnt set and you gave it a "spirited drive" and blew all the stuff out?
and its just high temperature Black Silicon from a motor factors or B&Q man. Custom Phil at Unique Exhausts doesnt use gaskets, only silicon and they never blow if left to set.

To an extent yes, but it should only be used from the cat-back where temps arent as hot as manifold area etc. Same with gungum, its not recomended to be used forward of the cat, but folk do anyway.

i cant make it to the top of a tree so i doubt it! id want to change the title of my blog cos its lame and seems to big up something thats pants haha
ill try and find my old gun gum and mould it around the joints nicely! if i remember rightly it seems to cling to gloves better than everything else! haha
and before i used it between my mani and down pipe on my renault but yeah failed as the pressure is high here

your still here!!
i thought you'd gone:grinning:
the gun gum would be better if the exhaust peices were off and you put the gun gum/high temp sealant in while or before wedging pieces together
(you'd make it up the tree if one of these guys set theyr hungry dogs on you)
