I would be interested in a set of these Rings; however, I would prefer the next size up to the 28,50mm you currently supply.
The reason being is for my deck the Nuts have bottomed out on the Adjuster Thread, so I cannot lower the sub-chassis any further, fortunately, I don’t need to go any lower, but I would prefer the Nut to be positioned in the middle of the thread length rather than the bottom.
No one else has mentioned this on the forum, so I am assuming that the issue is unique to my deck. My installation has the drive belt at 90 degrees to both the motor and platter spindles, so I am satisfied there is nothing wrong with my set-up.
The problem may be due to the fact that I previously had the solid imperial Adjuster, which has been replaced with the 2 piece Adjuster which you (Michell) supplied with your Pylons kit. It might also be due to my deck being an Export model; it may have slightly different depth of holes, whatever, the problem is not unsurmountable, and should be easily resolved with slightly larger (longer) Rings.
Cheers,
Steve
Yeah Steve...I don't think there are two decks the same made by Michell. The o-ring length issue, was disscused at some point and again, it was a case of finding a happy medium for the Gyro and the Orbe....This issue was well tested by the owners of the Gyros and the Orbes before the o-ring length was settled upon. A different thickness o-ring was supplied with the Orbe kit, because of the weight difference in the platter, but that strange law, the law of sod, there is going to be a one off, where something else will be required to suit said one off..
