spring retainers

Postby wayovermyhead » Sun Dec 25, 2016 5:42 pm

Gday folks,

Anyone ever had or heard of any troubles with the Isky aluminium spring retainers? i.e pulling through a little while bedding in or failing completely?

Have had some gain a little height after a little use. Have been led to believe they can bed in a little and will give them a little more use before calling it. But given Targa is just a few months away is over a 1000klms and they've done nothing near that they are not inspiring confidence. And I need confidence!

Cheers,
Llew

They're the Isky ones, blue in colour.

I can't find any bad reports on them. But then I can't find any bad reports on steel ones either, and this does need to be more of an endurance motor than one for little sprints. And I just can't get my head around a retainer that "beds in" by over .5mm!
