SV2 Pivot pins

[trr061984]

Just a query really, and wondering if anyone else has had an issue with the pivot pins on the front arms that hold the pivots to the front arms. Never had a problem with them until about 2 weeks ago, and since then, they have come loose, or completely fallen out in about half of the races and heats I have partook in. The irritating thing is that Schumacher do not have any in at the moment, so I am not sure whether the pin has somehow fouled and needs replacing. The other room is fine, and has never been an issue.

Thoughts?

I had the opposite, mine seemed as if they weren't threaded properly.

Hi,

I would say you have probably over tightened at some point and the plastic has become worn, I've done it myself... The kit plastic one's are made of a hard compound as appose to the medium flex one's which are made of a lot softer material, however both are fine unless over tightened.

Your best bet is to get a fresh set of arms and start again.

Hope this helps.

Got some new front arms ordered, so hopefully this will cure the problem. Thanks for the advice.

Small drop of super glue on the threads should do the trick..very small drop.

I just put the pivot pin through the wishbone in the other direction and tighten it up...works for me.

Think it was the arm as I have changed it now and it all seems good now.
