Hey I just received a mancini manual box and before I threw it in I wanted to ensure it was 16-1 ratio
Input shaft really tough to turn and tons of slop in it. So either it was never set with proper preload and adjusted or its a bad build. Will email company this weekend but by if I have to...
Thanks Jim
That is reassuring and might just be the direction I take.
I have access to migs and gas welding and can do either just want the better of the two so the trunk actually stays up
Thanks gents
I had to read the reply a couple times to get what you referred to about the option of bending....I got it. Good option to think about instead of the cut weld that I was thinking.
Since its well below 0 C here and snow on the ground I don't have to rush :)
I will wait and see if anyone chimes...
Wow I'm really impressed that you took the time to go out and grab the springs and measure them. Awesome!!
I have looked around to purchase a set of the springs but no luck so my only option is to try a weld. Either that or build some brackets and put gas shocks to keep trunk open.
Again thank...
Thanks Redfish
I tried another abody and they were also too long so I think the convertible ones may be narrower
If you could let me know that would be greatly appreciated
Hope someone out there can help, I can't find any convertible trunk springs so am going to cut/weld a set of abody springs
Looking for a measurement for the proper springs...the ones I have are 44 1/8 outside length
If anyone has a convertible set they could measure it would be really helpful...
Wanted to say thanks for the calipers you do very nice work sir. Wish you weren't shutting it down as quality workmanship like yours is tough to find
Thanks again
Chris
