Re: SER1 Paddocks Swivel kits

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/06/16]

Hi Mark,

In addition to the swivel kit I went for wheel cylinders/ brake shoes,  
brake adjusters (since mine had been attacked with a blunt spanner by a  
previous owner <grin> ) brake springs , new bolts and locking tabs to  
hold the bottom of the shoes, wheel bearings (3 per side - inner and  
outer in the hub + one in the back of the swivel ) and seals.

I also went for new hub nuts (217355)  (the big ones that you need the  
special spanner for (also available from paddocks) .  Word of warning  
here I've had 2 lots from paddocks of these nuts (their number frc8700)  
  and 1 lot had a different (later?) thread and didn't fit - I may have  
just got lucky with the first lot?!.  Again this was because the nuts  
on mine looked chewed - you  may not need these.  Craddocks will also  
have these

You'll also probably need the large locking tab washers to lock these  
nuts.  Paddocks sell one sort  (was p/n 217353)  but not the other(p/n   
217352) .  I managed to get the correct part from LR fasteners, but  
with hindsight 2 lots of the sort paddock sells would probably work  
just as well (cheaper and easier too) - not sure though.

If your axle has large springs on the top pins for the cone bearing  
(may not as it's a later one- spring p/n 242742) I would recommend  
replacing these too - these can be hard to find but blanchards had some  
when I was looking, as did craddocks.

Hope this helps

email address, but will help us to help you more efficiently. In future  
we
ask that new job requests be sent to nsmsjobs@xxxx.xx.xx.xx and general
queries/discussions to nsms@xxxx.xx.xx.xx.

Thanks for your cooperation - the NSMS Team.
