That's what I was expecting.If I hadn't already ordered my new rose joints, I may not have bothererd once I found out the ScootRS tie bar already had some fitted!corrado wrote:I don't think that the earliest scootrs anti dive brackets had any form of rose joint, just a tie bars with a hole at either end.
.i have the early tie bar, can u get the newer one corrado ? ive looked on scoot rs site cant find themcorrado wrote:I don't think that the earliest scootrs anti dive brackets had any form of rose joint, just a tie bars with a hole at either end.
Your tiebar must be the updated, mine just has 12mm holes, i cant just use M8 bolts because the brackets on the disc and fork leg also have 12mm holes . looks like i need to get the shoulder on the bolts partly machined down.Minority wrote:I'll check and take a pic of the bolt, but looking at the tie bar that came with my ScootRS antidive kit, I would say that they are straight 8mm bolts.YAMLAM wrote:Did the Bolts holding the original "tie-Bar " have a M8 thread and a larger shoulder (about 12mm, that sits thru the existing brackets ) ?Minority wrote:Works really well, I've just fitted the anti dive update to mine and that was really worthwhile. A lot of people in our club, PLSC, use them. Also available from justlambretta.com who is renowned for good service and good prices for forum members.
i have bought the parts you listed , perhaps my anti-dive is an older model.
This is the tie bar that came with my kit:
As you can see, it already has cruder rose joints fitted that are about 12mm diameter and takes an 8mm bolt.
I think you are correct, ScootRS have updated (and improved!!) their product.
I would think that you should be able to replace your bolts with suitable 8mm bolts.
If the tie bar and the brackets have 12mm holes how does that work?YAMLAM wrote:Your tiebar must be the updated, mine just has 12mm holes, i cant just use M8 bolts because the brackets on the disc and fork leg also have 12mm holes . looks like i need to get the shoulder on the bolts partly machined down.
I think you will be fine, the nut & bolt that is supplied with the new tie bar sounds basically the same but without the 12mm shoulder (8mm nut, which as you say fits a 13mm spanner, and head of bolt fits 14mm spanner).YAMLAM wrote:No your not being thick, it uses a shoulder bolt see link.http://www.shoulder-screws.co.uk/?gclid ... tAodBkgARA
the hex of my bolt is 14mm af, the nut is 13mm (standard M8 thread).either way i cant use the rose joints unless i can get the shoulder machined down. wheres that mick Dale when you need him
I'd go with the Ebay rose joints, they're better quality, you may need slightly longer bolts though, 30mm instead of 25mm [assuming there's space].rbgaz wrote:i have the early tie bar, can u get the newer one corrado ? ive looked on scoot rs site cant find themcorrado wrote:I don't think that the earliest scootrs anti dive brackets had any form of rose joint, just a tie bars with a hole at either end.
