Well, this afternoon at 3:30pm is "Transfer Transplant" number 3 (original to reduction, reduction back to original, and original back to reduction again!). Fingers firmly crossed as I'm doing it, so the gears not being right are the least of Tank's concerns!!! lmfao
Spoke to Danny this morning and after removing that spring loaded baffle assembly, they definitely run smoother even by hand - it was definitely causing to much pre-load, so hopefully that has sorted it. Will keep you posted!!
yeah please do was a mod i was looking at a while ago not that i can afford it at the moment its all future referance
Too easy mate - as said, hopefully all good ...Quote:

Kinda sh!ts me that it was that easy, and even though Marks produce a good product, it's a bit rude to just go "oh noisy, just take the baffle plate out" like it's a straight forward job ....
Anyways ... Can't wait now to test them out fully - thanks for the well wishes!!!
Glad to hear all went well mate, now can get out and give them a test run lolQuote:

Don't know that I can!! LOL ... impatient fat boy ... but alas, it goes in two weeks from now ...Quote:

Just because I know you've all been missing this thread (lol), I thought I give a big YEEHAH!!!
