In Bag A (the CVD's), what size hex driver do I need for the little grub screws!?

I can't get my calipers in to check, and neither my imperial or metric drivers go small enough to get them in?

[Lee]

It is .005"

[DaveG28]

That small, or 0.05"? I've tried the 0.05" and can't get it to fit, 0.005" may explain!

[DaveG28]

Actually I am guessing you mean't 0.05, I've looked at a couple of shop sites and can;t find any wrenches smaller than that.

Which means either my grub screws are the wrong size, or the driver I bought is!?

[KevLee]

They are definately 0.05, make sure the grub screw hex hasn't burred over

good luck

[Lee]

Sorry dave, yes .05"

If they have will I need to file out the hex?

Do any other makes use 0.05" grub screws of the same type by the way, I normally like to get spares for little bits like that?

Dave the front of the shell has a gap all the way round it, i think this will allow a fair bit of air through.

Also where the steering linkage goes, you can cut this back further if you want too. I cant see there being any problem with thermalling, i havent come accross any problems.

I think you can drill some holes above the fan for the brca meetings but if you are doing euros etc you will get ur wrist slapped

Right, I am obviously being an idiot with the slipper, but...

How on earth do I tighten/loosen it!?!? I can't get to the nut once its in the slipper in order to grip it so I can either tighten or loosen the slipper clutch!!

Do the instructions show the wrong nut, or is there some tool in the kit I can use to grip the nut??

No it's a feature.... until the tool comes out....stick a flat bladed screw driver in there for now

[DaveG28]

Grr, not having fun with this build so far, I'm useless!

Ok, have used theflat bladed screwdriver, but sadly the result is I now have a bent (but hopefully tight) slipper screw!! And no part number in the kit for the slipper screw!?

Also, have I managed to knacker it or is it right that the whole slipper assembly/spur is off kilter, it isn't straight at all now I've mounted it into the chassis. Its all pointed to the left front and right rear, have I broke it or does everyone else have the same thing?

I dont know the part number, but the spur/slipper pads look pretty similar to associated ones...I would think an associated screw would fit.

You mean the drive shafts etc dont run down the centre of the chassis?..thats normal
