any ideas for standardizing notation for ball nut type?
perhaps:
on left requiring grub screw through it - "415ball nut"
on right - "hex head ball nut"
(oh, and i would never use such a badly damaged 415ball nut!
)
The difference between the two is actually 1mm. As I always use the hexheaded jobs, I'll always state it the number of shims. To convert over to the standard ones, you need to use 1mm less of shims.
For example, with 5mm of shims under the front inner ball link, is for the hex headed type. With a std nut type, you only need to use 4mm.
