Hi Pete Have you looked at Labrador rescue ? Or even enquired with Guide Dogs ? We put our name down years ago for a reject guide dog. If they fail any of the regular trials they have to take, they rehome them. We were lucky to get "Folly" when she was 18 months; new forest easter 09 021 by dusty miller, on Flickr I'm not sure what the rejection rate is each year, but the trials they set are pretty stringent as you would imagine. Folly got distracted on a woodland walk - through trial - took more than a passing interest in a Squirrel, so that was her out ! Guide dogs tend to be either Labs or Retrievers, so worth asking Good luck Dusty Thanks dusty I’ll give them a try , great pics mate 👍😊

Hi lads after your advice please Need to pull my finger out with this so what would you do with this problem with the chain Use white one or black one ? Stick it too the arm or screw it in ( I’m bit nervous about drill the arm ? Cheers 👍

Can’t you just shave a couple of mil off the carrier where the caliper bolts go through Yes I could do mate but just worried I fook it up & also it’s all then got too be repainted as you see where it been skimmed

What Headcoats said, i've the same disc on my Rgv and it's thicker than standard, if it's almost touching just run it, as long as it doesn't bind, should be ok, only other ways are skim the inside face of the disc or shims behind the bolts? Andy. Yes mate I could put washers behind the disc but I think that’s bodging myself

Looking at your pics it seems you need a mm or 2 off the top hat spacer that goes against the wheel bearing, and that mm or 2 being added to the spacer between the carrier and the arm. Dusty I did think this aswell mate trouble is I’m sure that then changes the chain run ? At the mo I need 4mm offset

Post by petehodges on Jan 9, 2020 21:33:49 GMT 1
I'm no expert on RGV conversions but the simplest solution would be to me is place a washer between the wheel and disc mount bolts, i.e. bring the disc out towards the S\A. Having said that there doesn't look to be a lot of clearance to play with Yes mate I did think this but I’m not really over happy doing this as it should be right to begin with

Is you Met arm a new one or a few years old ? Reason I ask is I bought one when Dean was still running the original Metmachex swingarms, and I was supplied with incorrect spacers. Long story short, I ended up getting a spacer made by my local guys after I had done some careful measuring. Dean had supposedly lost the drawings for the Lc/Rgv swingarm. Dusty Dusty I got this off Dave (tribrit) but yes I think it’s an older model it’s drove fooking nuts mate spent most evenings this week passing around with it . It’s meant too be straight forward 🤬
