Don't know if this helps cos never used one but I'm pretty sure its basically a single rail version of bullet box (2000e) so assuming power levels similar. Same input shaft etc. Think i read this in Burton mag if anyone can confirm.

Thanks for the reply! Seated springs correctley and torqued on ground, although I didn't put the rubber covers on the new springs. Surely that can't be it? Why didn't the new springs come with them. I tried to pull the old ones off but came to the conclusion that they were bonded on as they wouldn't...

Lowering

Hi all, I've just fitted -1" springs to my laser and they seem to keep jumping and mis-aligning the steering as you turn the wheel. Is this a common thing and is there a simple solution?

It was suggested to me that it could be something to do with a diode(s) that are in the alternator and/or regulator when i had a similar problem with battery drain. It is the charge light you are refering to.

Rad replacement

Hi all. Radiator brackets finally fell off :( so need new rad and was thinking why not go bigger with electric fan already fitted. Does anyone know of a fan/rad combo that will fit straight into mk3 2.0 without any major mods?

You can then see the screws for front and rear rigging. Just be carefull when you put the lining back in cos i rippe...
