[VAC] Re: axles
Does anyone have a fairly new unit or a Vintage unit
with new axles? If so, I would like to know what the
angle of the axles is on these units. We all worry a
lot about "settling" of the old axles. But, does
anyone really know what a new axle looks like? If new
ones sit barely below vertical, then I'm not too
concerned about mine sitting a few degrees lower.
But, on the other hand, if they sit a lot higher,
there can be no doubt that they have lost a lot of
travel.
BTW--I was the guy who called AS about this and was
told that 5 degrees past horizontal is the limit. I
don't claim to be right, but this is what I was told.
Any data appreciated.
