Grumpy steady bar kit.

Post by Boomlander »

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what the thread size is in the spare holes adjacent to the o/s damper that the steady rod anchor bracket bolts to?
I tried for ages but the bolts in the kit just would not screw in and I resorted to refurbing the original steady rod with the cups and rubbers from the Grumpy kit.
I fitted the same kit to my Series 2 in about 20 minutes so I'm stumped as to why it is not working with my Series 5.

Hi all,
Turns out the threads were full of underseal and ancient Greece!
Ran a tap through to clear it and the kit was on in no time.
A lot better than the wretched original which looks like it was "adjusted" to fit where it wasn't meant to go! :roll:

Well done. :D
The Grumpys engine steady kit is a a good piece of equipment and well worth the effort of obtaining and fitting.
