A few weeks ago I purchased a M-08 to build me a nice NSU TT, just for parking lots. I read this whole thread before and got some tips and tricks.
But what was still bothering me was the play of the king pin bushings. So I designed and printed a new c-hub which fits some ball bearings instead of the original bushings. It worked perfectly, no more play at this joint!
Now I read you broke some c-hubs at the bottom section, where the shells for the caster adjustment are inserted? Did I understood this correctly? So I thought, if you are interested I could upload my c-hubs to i.e. shapeways so you could order them from there.
I can also modify this bottom section to make it stronger. I can make a version to fit the hinge pin directly instead of these shells. Of course I would have to know a desired caster angle.
I think I can't upload pics with my first post? So I will post them later.
Best regards!
Mike
Guten Tag Mike,
Yes you are correct. The C Hub is splitting on the bottom. The breakage goes through the grub screw, because that area is very thin. When you are able to load pictures, you design would be interesting for us to see. I also think it does not hurt to have it available on shape ways.
