    Brilliant - a lovely bit of neat engineering !

    That's neat, looks and sounds much more purposeful than the old plastic moulding.
    The spring for self-centering seems a great idea too.
    Mine has a different linkage (rods, not cable) and there isn't much throw from left to right between 1-2/3-4/5-6 planes, so that spring must help a lot.

    Glad you enjoyed the vid,

    Yea i think that additional spring will make a big difference, it was actually pretty finicky to setup, the little stopper block, that limits the spring rotation, has to be just the right width to get the spring start doing something straight away.

    Yet another very interesting video thanks Colin. It will be really interesting to see what difference your mods have made. Has this changed the ride height at either end? I know I should be able to work it out but sadly dont have a beer to hand.
