Setting distance of adjusting nut
Important:
Two adjusting procedures are detailed
below. Procedure "A" should always be used ex-
cept when two new rear leaf springs have been fit-
ted, then procedure "B" must be followed.
Procedure "A" To be used except when new
rear leaf springs are fitted.
1. If new valve linkage has been fitted.
Measure the distance from the end of the
threaded adjustment rod to the end of the adjust-
ing nut face, the measurement should be 10 to
12 mm, if not adjust accordingly. This measure-
ment is a datum to allow futures measurements.
Rotate the spacer tube "B" so that the distance
between the end of the spacer tube and the
stepped shoulder of the link rod "A" is 16.5 to
18.5 mm, dimension "C".
Crimp the end of the spacer tube, adjacent to
the knurled section of the tube, against the
flats of the threaded adjustment rod using a
suitable tool. This is to prevent the tube from
turning thus altering the adjustment.
2. For existing valve linkage.
Measure the distance between the end of the
spacer tube and the stepped shoulder of the link
rod.
To adjust, hold the threaded adjustment rod flats
at the end of the rod "E" to prevent it turning and
rotate the adjusting nut "C" one way or another
until the correct measurement is obtained.
