Calamity Ganon build thread, sorta bs thread? with a sprinkling of Sumi the HX

Are they a form of a lock nut? I like stover nuts (that sounded weird haha). Also, fyi, no one really calls them "limiter" straps. Refer to them as "limit" straps instead

 

limit limiter same thing lol

and its a two nut system where one tightens it down to where you want it to hold at then the other is suppose to lock it down buuut i just noticed they are way loose now

 

If you can't find stover nuts to replace those, I would try a lock washer with one nut. The double nut method is good for installing studs but not necessarily for maintaining tension under vibratory conditions.

Edit: only one stover nut as well.

 

ya idk why thats how it came but meh also whats a stover nut lol

 

Really?? Wow, I can't believe it came like that haha.

Stover nut simply has an oval hole instead of a round hole

 

If you weld them they wont move
Or Red Lock tite.

 

Yeah loctite works as well lol

 

you see they had blue lock tite and i thought it would be fine but nope lol

 

interesting.

and ya thats how kartek sent it

 

and now I'm really surprised. Kartek should know better. Can you post a picture?

 

@Calamity_taco oh wait, yours as a clevis to adjust???

 

This is my bad. Dont use the stover. Try the loctite. I'm wondering if the straps are set up correctly. There's nothing hitting them or constantly being stretched?

 

yes mine is the adjustable one since i didnt know what exactly i needed

 

ya lol

 

Yeah that's a good route to go. Try the loctite and see if that does it. Also, keep am eye on any where points. There is a spring to help maintain tension on the nuts as well.

 

they are constantly in contact with his tie rod.

 

they are not they are close yes but they are not touching

 

Someone made a build thread for a shitbox?! What’s going on in here?!

 

i need to cut the mounts off and angle them better tbh we welded them on with following a picture from online and i personally dont like the angle because they are very close to my tie rod but they dont touch even under flex just are very close
