Charts for Quick reference:

















1) put inner bearing in hub
2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle
3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier
4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier
5) push outter bearing into hub carrier

using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.



I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM).

Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter:

The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

My LHS is crappy so was hoping to order it from somewhere else

I wonder if Tower wants to save money on shipping these kits and use awful UPS Mail Innovations working with the USPS and delivering these nice and slow.


All my free shipping or 0.99 / 1.99 Parts Saver shipping is painful with these guys.

I just got my b6d body painted and cut the back trim lines long. My question, are the longer lines or the shorter ones fit the b6d? Btw I haven't got my back ordered car but im working on other things that take time.
Thanks

The manuals have been on AE's site for a week now. They detail which cut lines for which car.

The B6 manual is incorrect on the cut lines. On the diagram it lists Cut Line A as the solid line. It should be the long dash. Cut Line C should be the solid line.

I have found a few other mistakes and haven't even built the kit yet. Just been looking through it.

I looked at the b6 and the b6d manuals last week but wasn't sure. Thanks Cris for the information.

Would the longer b5m shocks be better on an outdoor loose bumpy track?

I picked up the asc91688 B6 Aluminum Arm Mount, D; do i need to get asc92014 too for the inserts? the kit manual references the latter part number, but uses plastic d mounts.

I noticed that page 27 of the B6D manual lists QTY 4ea of the inserts. This should provide enough to use the FT D mounts without needing to buy extra inserts.

I think it would be better on a bumpier outdoor track because you will have more shock travel ??? Just a thought ....

It'll matter just how rough it is, and how large the jumps are.
