Default Hm

Couldn't pass this thread by without commenting how much I frigging hate Centax. It took me quite awhile to get it to where it doesn't eat the shoes (not engaging sufficiently.) I'm going with .5 myself, but one thing I noticed that may or may not be of help...get quality bearings in the bell. Crap bearings cause more play which causes it to wobble/change no matter how you set the wretched thing. And remember that loctite is your friend, because sometimes that stupid spring nut decides it likes to be somewhere other than where you originally set it. I'm cheating...I have a three shoe old school setup ordered for my car which I'll probably be running this year, I'm not the patient type and apparently don't learn well from my mistakes on some things (got an ex-wife that I'm sure would agree with that but that's neither here nor there..........)

And always remember to pack extra aspirin before you go racing....
