Hi,

Any help will be appreciated.

That sounds really suss. Do you original trumpets look to be cut down or modified at all? And you wound in both nuts on the hi-lo I presume? Got any pictures of the two side by side?

with the hi lo and rod in place it is exactly the same length as the trumpet, and the hilo is screwed all the way in. have you got any idea how long the rod should be.

the trumpets are original and have not been modified

thanks

jeff

Who makes them? Sounds pointless, are u talking about the front? Or both F and R

i have only installed the rear so far. the idea was to lower my mini as it sits too high

I had the same thing, you get an old hydro strut or what ever it is... Just cut that down?

Gordo not sure where your comming from thier..but have you also replaced the Donutes also as new ones will also raise the suspention also. If not make sure the Hilo is sitting in the donute all the way and dont forget it will settle and lower anyway

i used the same donuts and they are sitting in there evenly. i bought the kit through a local mini guy in perth. i think that the rods are too long.

can anyone tell me how long should the rods be???

thanks

jeff

I vaugely remember someone else having the problem last year

From memory i think you have to cut a inch off the hyrdo bars to obtain the right ride high with hi-lo's.

But its been a long time since i fitted a set so don't qoute me.

Doogie
