915 Centre Spring

Post by 70sThrowback »

I remember some chat on here a while back about fitting a spring which centres a 915 box to the middle to reduce slop. I wondered if those that fitted it had an update now they have done some miles as to how its performed and whether it was worth it.

Thanks

I would, the springs sound like the kind of simple thing that should have been built into the mechanism in the first place

I got in touch with Karsten via Instagram yesterday, apparently he's not been on Pelican parts in over a year. He responded immediately and the spring was in the post yesteday. A job for over the winter, along with my washer and expansion tank removal plans.
