Ok my brass stand offs came today and they are perfect m3 tapped all the way through 17mm long by 4.6 mm so will fit jut right I'll get some pics up in a bit

Those posts are just stand offs not made by GPM but I have been looking into getting some stud connectors so should pretty rugged. As to will be the diff hangers, dare I say better than the GPM ones as these will be made from T6 alloy.

I think the ones on Luke's were made by GPM

This is how the end result should be. http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p662/peakey29/068C4D4D-7A03-4207-8CB8-AA76EDF0C19F_zpsdycr8b81.jpg http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p662/peakey29/F952E766-4CB2-4059-9832-9C72ADF40108_zps6vfyzag6.jpg This is how I wanted it as to make the front stronger an...

I've been looking around and I think I may have the answer in a stud connector. Cheep and stronger than the original plastic spacers. 8) Here http://www.fixingsupplies.co.uk/nuts/studding-connectors/m3-studding-connector-bzp.html A slight modification may be required as they need to be about 17.5mm ...

I've ordered some 17mm pcs brass stand off's the same that Luke used on his to replace the plastic tubes. I bet you could find something similar that is or could be tapped to use as a sort of spacer nut. I went for the stand off so I can still use original belt tensioner system that's on the front d...

Ok they can be tapped that's not a problem but what is there will only be about 2mm if thread so it will hold but for how long and how tight it's not known.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome

I did ask for them not to be tapped but now thinking about it that would be the better option and look tidier.

On a side note dan I might have something your looking for let me sought through a big box I recived today and I'll get back to you

He was looking into anodizing as they don't do that in house yet but without they would be around £40 per set depending on how many people I could get together.

I'm looking into getting some of these made and was wondering if anyone would be interested in having a set made at the same time. http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p662/peakey29/Mobile%20Uploads/49AAD740-63E3-4F02-A358-E91D153136F1_zpswysqdjca.jpg This is a 3d drawing of what will be machined out...

Baby steps are ok better than no steps at all

Thanks plums I've taken to the method of removeing the screws getting the caliper out measuring them an ordering what I think is sutible. And so far it's worked out quite well I've been replacing all mine with hex heds from kayfast1 on eBay good quality next day delivery and well priced. :D Like you...

I've got a new Schumacher spring so if that works I haven't checked yet but would of thought so. How's the progress pal?

Looks good dan I spoke to Stephen at fiberlyte last month about something very similar but in carbon
