The spring will be above the tire once properly adjusted like Zoom Zoom said so it should end up clearing unless you're not even close. What size/offset are you running?

 

[Kenny123]

That shock screws into the bottom bracket, stick a measuring Tape up through the bottom and adjust until you have 3 1/2 “View attachment 17916 mine was way off View attachment 17915 had like 1”

Oh man thank you. So you are saying measure 3.5 inches inside that tube that has the hole to mount it? I will do that as soon as I get home. Thank you.

Yes exactly, you turn the threaded shock part one way or another to get 3 1/2 “ on inside of mount

Man thank you so much for that help. I feel so stupid with all these questions but having such a great resource really helps!!!

Got the brakes bled and the clutch bled. Found both front brake lines leaking very slightly on the front brakes where they meet the flex lines. I hope I don't need to replace those line already :-(

 

[Ross]

I wonder if the flex lines seated well.

Were they new lines to start with? Many new lines and fitting leak until you get a really good seat on them. Ours leaked after I had tightened them as much as I felt comfortable with without stripping them. But ended up loosening them and re-tightening them a couple of time to make a good "seat" and that took care of it.

Brake leaks are a sore subject.

Not sure just may have to bite the bullet and take the brake fluid out and redo it :-(

I will try they then. Maybe just loosen em up and keep tightening with a different seat position

What kind of tubing did everyone use to connect the brake/ clutch reservoir to the clutch master cylinder and the brake booster? I bought reinforced rubber fuel line but I dint think that will stand up to the brake fluid or pressure.

What not to do.

Yeah, then crank them down really tight the last time. Use proper wrench if you have one.

Yah dude this was my fear

You need EPDM tubing, by the way. Do not use fuel line or other rubber, brake fluid will degrade it. I got 10 feet of it from Tractor Supply for 8 bucks.

Oh no I am not talking about that tubing. I used the vacuum line provided and that worked fine. I'm talking about the compression fitting where the hard line connects to the stainless braided line. I think I got it by tightening the ever loving shi* out of it.

Going to run the shifter cables and mount the shifter tonight... I know I've seen a post i believe by lonny on how to adjust the cables and such. Can't seem to find it now. Also any idea where the power comes from for the intercooler pump?
