Tein EDFC Question

Brad · Postby **Brad** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 10:09 pm

I'm in the process of installing a second hand EDFC unit and am looking at 4 of the grub screws that come with it. The manual says that these are supposed to be gold, but mine are black, and exactly the same as the ones in the top of the shocks that need to be replaced.

Can someone who has done this install tell me whether there is a difference between the black and gold grub screws?

Cheers
Brad

Aw geez, I wish I could remember

I did remove the black ones and put in the gold ones but can't for the life of me remember if they were different...

I'm thinking they may be a different length, though the diagram has drawn then the same size. I might give Fulcrum a call and see, worst case scenario is to buy new ones which are supposably $5US....owch :lol:

Otherwise it's all installed, though errors are showing as the motors are not connected.

The gold ones are slightly longer than the black ones - I have no idea why this is tho.

You could try Fulcrum Suspension for an Aus supplier instead of getting them overseas

As long as they are flush when you fit them it shouldn't be a drama. Mine were silver and the EDFC ones are black. It's the right model motors yeah?

No, that's was the other problem which I've fixed, the motors were 2xM12 and 2xM14. The MX5 needs M12 so I've had sleeves made up for the inside of the M14 to fit over the shock.

I'll get them installed with the back ones and see how it goes.
