Landing gear - threaded and bear trap 2 headset

(1/2) > >>

Boybaker30:
I am struggling to fit a new Bear Trap 2 head set to my ripper, it has threaded LG forks but the bottom part of the headset seems loose aroung the forks and has a lot of play once its all put together.

Is there a shim that I am missing?
Will this combo work?

Have I just put it together wrong?

MartyC:
Sounds like you need to put a couple of winds of electrical tape around the fork to pick up the slack.  There should be a brass shim on the forks but it sounds like that is missing, not unexpectd if they are old forks  :daumenhoch:

Boybaker30:
Found the shim but it is still loose?

Will the tape do the trick?

Can you buy the brass shims?

Thanks for the help -  :daumenhoch:

Boybaker30:

And I could alsways use the same colour electrical tape as the stuff that I peeled off the forks!!!!!!!!! :uglystupid2:
