N O T E S :

You may think some bolts on the sub-chassis assembly are loose - they are deliberately set like this at factory - do not adjust them
or performance can be dramaticaly degraded
.

Before fitting the sub-chassis examine the top spring adjuster to get an idea of how it works and the extent of it’s adjustment. Remove the
top spring adjuster by unscrewing it completely. You must not allow this to happen once the sub-chassis is set up or the sub-chassis will drop.
Removing the adjuster shows how much thread you have to play with. Refit the top spring adjuster by threading it back into the connector
ring.

1. The sub-chassis is attached to the “spring plate” by one “pivot bolt” – the two plates should be free to swivel and are loosely
restrained by an “anti-rotate bolt” – this locating bolt should be left alone. The pivot bolt is tightened at factory and should not be
adjusted or performance will degrade significantly.

2. If the correct tension on the pivot bolt is lost for any reason, then the correct tension is such that the spring plate can rotate
minutely but freely in relation to the sub-chassis plate but has minimal “rocking” motion in the vertical plane.

3. The “anti rotate” bolt is tight on the spring plate but has minimal contact with the sub-chassis.

4. If for any reason, tension is lost on any of the other bolts, they should be just “nipped” tight by 1/8 of a turn from the point
where you can just turn the bolt & nut freely in it’s hole – any tighter than this and performance is degraded.

Place the motor pod in position at the rear of the plinth – You will need to lift the plinth over the pod to get it in position. Arrange the

plinth in it’s final resting place to get the motor pod position correct. The motor pod should be located approx in the centre of the circular
cut out of the plinth.
