Hi, got a set of these new issue twin pinch flights and am in prosess of fitting. in the box there is  a blue tube which goes on spindle between bearings my question is does this cutting to size at all before i go tapping the second bearing in ...thanks Rick.

MartyC:
Shouldn't really need to cut it down, it's there to stop the cranks binding on the bearings when you tighten the cranks up, too short and it won't do it's job  :daumenhoch:

I have never had to cut one down on redlines :daumenhoch:

rick1970:
Ok thanks chaps just needed to be sure here goes then   :daumenhoch:
