lansalot Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Folks, any word on how to align the transfer box when I've replaced the mounts ? The problem being, when the mounts broke, I lost any alignment - and so now I've fitted new ones (which are still not all tightened up), I'm wondering the best way to get some sort of alignment sorted out ? Perhaps a measurement from centre of prop at either end to chassis rail ? I know there's adjustment on the mount brackets on the chassis rail (fore to aft), but how critical is it ? A bit of mis-alignment won't make the worst scenario in the world, presume the UJs will take up a certain amount of alignment anyway ? What's the best plan of attack here ?

Les Henson Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Just do it by eye. As you say - the props will handle it. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 as the chassis part of the mounts has 3 holes/bolts to attach them, any slight misalignment won't do any harm, if it looks right by eye then it won't be too far from the correct position, when I replaced my TB recently, I just refitted it to the main gearbox & refitted the mounts & tightened all the bolts, hasn't given me any cause for concern.

Les Henson Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 That's just about what I said - without all the fluff. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
