Anyone ever heard of the pivot
bolt coming adrift??
Sure have Mick, it's not as exciting as a radius
rod braking or a stub axle (that put me in hospital for 3 months) but it
does get you're attention. The exocentric type were prone to snapping on the
dirt cars, haven't heard of any on a track though.

Thats bad luck pete
I hope the damage isn't too severe. Was it a 2 day meeting? Did u get
it running for the sunday?
What sort of tyres were u running (brand size etc)?
What ratio diff were u running? Locked??
Hope u get it back together soon. Gotta keep the datto flag flying on
the track!!!
Shane Smith had a big lose at Leyburn yesterday. Halfway down the
straight the lower control arm pivot bolt pulled out of the front cross
member which he reckoned was pretty exciting.. The locals were helping him
out with another cross member so he should be back on the track
today
Anyone ever heard of the pivot bolt coming adrift??
cheers

Fellow OZDATTERS
Well it finally happened today at the Rob Roy Hillclimb.
I
crashed the datto.
Hit the Armco on the bridge and totaled the right
hand rear quarter, rear door, front guard and by the looks of it the
boot doesn't shut properly.
Hit a patch of water coming flat out
across the top of turn 1, slid sideways across the mush heading for the
dam, (thought i was going swimming for a sec), corrected it and as i
came back on the track slid across the other side and Wammo into the
Armco.
BUGGER
Anyways, pulled out the rear quarter and checked
the front end in the Scruttineering bay (of course) we managed to have
another run.
Now the problem is, the diff
is too tall, has anybody in the South Eastern suburbs got a 4.9 or a 5.1
locked diff laying around that i could either buy or
borrow????
Thanks Peter
