Mikelly Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 So I decided that the Q45 adapters I had weren't going to work, and didn't see anything from the competitors out there, so I went online to Ross' site at http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/default.php and search, then found these: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=32_53&products_id=65 So on Thursday of last week I placed the order and then sent Ross an email stating "I need these ASAP" for a track weekend I'm registered for... I've been away from the Zcar scene for a while and I'm sure some don't know that we have 3 track cars now, but not knowing his turn-around I figured I'd state my "needs" and "timeline" at the outset. Today they arrived and Ross had followed up with several emails and a note to let me know that the parts were scheduled to be delived today. Now the question... Anyone know how those axle caps are supposed to be installed... indention in or indention out? It's an "axle stop" so I assume it's "IN" but really don't want to have to "do it twice". Any help would be appreciated. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks man, but that unfortunately doesn't show what I'm looking for. On the Q45 Axle adapters (which are 6 bolt units) they come with new CV Axle "endcaps" to keep the grease in. They also have an "axle stop" built into on side of the endcap.

Any help would be appreciated. Mike I believe that the answer that you are looking for is that the indention goes "in" (i.e., it limits the travel of the axle shaft inside the CV housing).

Drax240z Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 It's a sad state when 2 track day cars aren't enough, and you have to rush to get the 3rd one finished. Good on ya Mike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
