I'm in the middle of replacing my rubber cones...the thread in the old ones was all rusted away and i had to cut the trumpet in half to get it out, not so hard..but now I can't for the life of me get the old rubber cone out!!







Yuuck!

Hey willy, didn't you have to pull them out for the `Gestapo'??

Naah i had to put them IN for regency.
So i could get the height up.
Geez it was horrible to drive with it so high

Are all HiLos the same? if not which ones are the best to buy and from where?

All pretty much the same, except for MiniSport (UK) Adjustarides. These don't use a stock Mini knuckle ball (1/2" dia shank), but one that's a bit bigger. So you need to buy knuckles from them, a PITA...

What is the going rate for HiLos from somewhere like Karcraft? P.s I like the religious status!!!

$58 each for the 4 Hi-Los, and another $57.34 for a pair of rear struts (screw into the Hi-Los).
Prices were Jan `05, might be higher now.

you're a butcher Josh

i need hi-lo's in the front of JAM....the new cones sit WAY too high!! looks like i am popping a mono when standing still

anton i put some good second had rubber cones in mine and even with the high lows on there lowest setting it is sitting to high. Im not sure if you can modify the high low to come down further, i would look into it before you put them in.

Hehe, felt good cutting up those trumpets ...wish I could burn the cones safely

Still on side 1

I got the top arm out, fairly easily....for some reason one of the nuts on the shaft retaining plate was a different size to the bolt head which threw me off

Heres a look without the arm



Once the arm was out the cone came out with the greatest of ease, almost literally dropped out the hole



Here's all the bits and pieces out...check out the grease..it's BLUE

And another shot with the new knuckle..



I have to remove the old cup thing that's in there at the moment right?
