Clubby chain adjustment

[dunc_sx]

There are 8 bolts to mount the diff (4 per side) and then 2 horizontal adjustment screws which push the diff back tensioning the chain. Once the chain has been correctly tensioned and the 8 main diff bolts tightened is it OK to back the 2 adjustment screws out of the way? The rear sprocket bolts run too close to the adjustment screw on the LHS so I'd like to back it off out of the way if this is deemed safe.

Failing this I'll work something out with the bolts so they clear.

Thoughts on this please guys?

Thanks,

Dunc.

Never had to do that on ours!

If it a'int been a problem thus far why risk it?

I would definitely *not* rely on the perpendicular bolts without the adjuster bolts.

Shouldn't be running too close, is you Diff shimmed over correctly? or running straight and even to thr front sprocket?

Yeah everything's in line, think I just need to pop a washer on the sprocket bolts to give a bit more room.

Cheers for the responses,

Hi Dunc,

From memory mine has thick (2mm ish) spring washers
on each bolt. Don't know if that would make any difference?

[dunc_sx]

Yeah think that's all they need an extra washer on the bolts, thought the bolts were identical in length to the old ones but there's probably a small difference or the spring washers are slimmer. I've got nylock nuts and a spring washer at the bolt head side so should be secure
